So we just did the gleaning project review. I graded it really harshly, but then realized that I haven't meet a lot of the requirements either. I haven't been posting three times per week. I'm proud of the work I've been doing so far, and have made a lot of progress. Each one of my entries has a purpose, and I've only been posting check ins when I have data to show. Even though I don't have data that shows progress three times a weeks, I think I should still be posting, I can at least share my lifting routine for that day, which reminds me: I've been weight training 4-6 days each week. I don't know why I haven't posted much about this. I considered it to be the smaller/less important half of my project, but it was the entire project for the journal I reviewed. I've had an ankle injury the last month, so training has been difficult, but here is how I've been breaking up my split by the week:
Tennis- Tennis is the priority still but can't play in full because injury - increasing by 10 minutes each time I play. Play every other day. Only play inside, where the courts are slightly softer.
Legs- I can't train with heavy weights involving my legs like I love to, and usually do, because of my injury. Instead I've been doing lower weight and higher frequency. Every 2-3 days I use hamstring curl or leg extension machines, which don't put any pressure on the ankle.
Pull day- My weak area in bodybuilding is my back, I've been training it every 2-3 days. I also train biceps on this day
Push day- Deltoids, chest and triceps every 3 days. I don't train traps because they have started to get out of proportion.
Abs- Every other day I train one super set of two exercises for 3-4 sets.
I appreciate the candor used in this entry as well as the self-reflection in connection to the gleaning assignment. It's obvious you want to use it as an experience from which to learn--awesome!
