After telling Rich that my waist has been growing, I reluctantly decided to do measurements with Jennie today. And, I was right....it has grown a full 2 inches! Holy cow. And, no I'm not pregnant. I think the culprit is the weighed side bends that I have been doing over the last few weeks. My obliques are out of control. I'm done with using any weights for ab work. I had no idea that you could develop muscle that quickly and put on that much size. From what I've read it seems like genetics play a huge role in how you develop these muscles, but weights do not help.
My leg workout:
- Leg extensions with light weight (30lbs) 2x30
- Wide stance barbell squat 2x15 @just the bar, 2 x failure @bar plus 40)
- Leg press (shoulder width) 4x8 (90 lbs)
- Walking lunges with dumbbells 3x20 (15 lb dumbbells)
- Dumbbell step ups 3x10 (15 lb dumbbells)
- Plie dumbbell squats 3x15 (one 20 lb dumbbell)
- Standing calf raises without weight (not supposed to do these so I only lift my legs slightly)
- Leg extensions 3x10 (80 lbs)
- Straight legged deadlifts 3x15 (65 lbs)
i'll take your obliques any day :-) one last date with my good friend OREO and then i'll be on track tomorrow!
