9.28.09 - Monday

Was my birthday. I turned 22 years of age. Didn't do much because family came over on Saturday. Went to the gym as usual. :)

LOW CARB DAY:

Protein: 300g
Carbs: 200g
Fat: 70g

Weight: 195 lbs.

Cardio: 15 mins on treadmill alternating between 3.0 and 8.5 MPH. Done after my workout.

Workout:

BACK Power Day

I was supposed to do rack deads, but the rack at the YMCA doesn't have adjustable safety bars, so that was out. Also, since they remodeled the gym, there is no more padding all over the floors so I cannot deadlift there. I do my deadlifting at my college gym, but I wasn't there today so I subbed in T-Bar rows for them. I will instead do rack deads on my rep range day next week and deadlifts on my next power day.

OVERALL THOUGHTS: Great workout. Kind of sucked that I couldn't do deadlifts, but I actually think its for the better as I've been having some pretty bad pain in my right trap and the right side of my neck. I might've strained it last Wednesday when I was doing deadlifts. I really like this program so far. I will be doing the rack pulls next week though during the Rep Range workout and then deadlifts for the next power workout in a couple weeks, or who knows I may throw them into another workout. :-X
