My bodybuilding workouts are starting to become more intense. I reorganized the lower body workout according to Frank Zane's training DVD. Now I start with working the calves. I recently bought a seated calf machine, which I will pick up on Tuesday. This will give me a more complete set of calf workouts.
After the calves, I concentrated on the inner and outer thighs (adductors and abductors), went on to hamstring curls and quad
extensions, did some hard side lunges and finished off with 3 sets of deep squats on the leg blaster. Before today, I would start with the squats. At the end I did 18 minutes of hill walking on the treadmill at level 7 incline, and some stretches.
This was a rare day when I ate too little. Combined with a tough workout, I was really spent in the evening and had a hard time sleeping. I woke at 3 pm and had to get something to eat, so I snacked on a whole wheat tortilla with some hummus and pasta.
In the morning I had a green smoothie with an orange, banana, peach, ground flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, kale and spinach. I then worked out and didn't eat much until dinner. Dinner was some soba noodles with various vegetables and lots of fruit for dessert. I wasn't that hungry after dinner, but did snack on some dates, grapes and almonds. I am still learning to eat to better accommodate my bodybuilding workouts.
