8/19

It was supposed to be a leg day, but I ended up doing 6 sets of 30 seconds of boxing. Today my back and abs are pretty tired. Since I didn't want to skip legs, I did 2 sets of 205x6 squats which turned out to be really difficult. I'm not sure if it's because I was completely exhausted or if it's because of my injury... but I guess I'll find out the next time I do legs.

I spent the next few hours before sleeping eating 2/3 box Cheerios (600 calories) and drinking some cantaloupe/whey protein/yogurt shake.

Tried deadlifts again - went surprisingly well... I think my injury is going away fast:

185x6, 205x6, 225x6, 245x6, 265x6, 285x6

I've also been eating more again - last night I biked to Denny's and ate 2 grand slam breakfast meals. My workout partner is now 178 lbs, which is a whopping 13 lbs more than what I weighed in at.

8/11

My leg is still injured, but it's healing because yesterday I was able to do 205x6 deadlift pretty easily with no pain.

Also did 185x4 incline bench, some power cleans @ 155, 4 1 arm chinups with ~45 lb assist, and an easy 90 lb plank for 1 min (I attribute this to the ab-killing boxing).

After the gym my hallway had an "Alley UFC Fight" which was EXTREMELY tiring. We basically just wailed on each other with the sparring/boxing gloves and I constantly attempted to go for take downs and then mount them.

8/8

Legs are still crappy/injured.
Chinup: 90 lb max
Bench: 235 max
Abs have never felt stronger.

for $13 (guess they just raised the price) since my dorm is going to get a punching bag and I just found out the gym has one too. It's a pretty good replacement for sprints now that I'm injured.

2 days ago I did 6 sets of 30 sec of punching, which left my abs cramping, my heart pounding, and my back really really tired.
