Bikram

Bikram yoga class 

Back on the bikram yoga and we are going to try and go twice a week and gain even more benefits than the once a week trips.

update and back on the horse

So I had my doctors appointment a week ago from last friday and the verdict is that I have a sprained ac joint in my shoulder. This is a pain in the ass injury they said because I am always moving it and it could take up to 2 months to heal.... what do I do in the mean time? Well I have decided to not let it bring me down and use this as an opportunity to catch the size of my legs up to my upper body because my legs have always been smaller. So I had Ben make this program for me since I have decided that I only am going to program for other people since that is my major and not myself anymore. This is what he came up with:

Monday

Back Squat: Work up to 1 heavy set of 6-8 reps Weighted Back Extensions: 2 sets of 12-20 reps, pause at the top of each rep with rounded back for a 1 holdBarbell Calf Raises: 3x20-30 iso hold at the top of the final rep on the setBarbell Lunges: 2x6-8 on each side (12-16 total reps per set)WednesdayBack Squat: 2 sets straight across of 5 at a dynamic effort weightWeighted Decline Situps: 3x20-30 reps Light Good Morning Sets: Focus on control on each rep- 2x6-8FridayBack Squat: Work up to 1 heavy set of 12-20 reps. Focus on control for each rep and not speedGHRs: Complete 40 repetitions total in as few sets as possibleLeg Press: Work up to 2 sets of 10-12, go as deep as possible FINISHER- Body weight calf raises: 3x max reps in 60 seconds, 60 second rest between sets. Rest periods are spent in a parallel wall squat position*

I started this last week and man was I sore. I am also going to incorporate conditioning in and morning walks as well.
