Another great and intense work-out this week. Chris hired a summer intern and used me as an example in training the boy. And I, of course not wanting to disappoint, tried a bit harder, pushing closer to the point of exhaustion. Great results again. And that one red square is mostly meaningless as we were doing negatives; all of the muscle drain occurred on the negative stroke when Chris was pushing the stack against me.
Chris had watched a Drew Baye workout last week and altered the seating arrangement on the MedX Leg Press. Drew Baye reclines the seat more and doesn’t pin the stack at the opening. He calls it ‘gangster style’. The extra recline opens the stomach up letting you breathe easier even when the weigh stack is against you. And by not pinning the stack, you eliminate the hurdle of initially pushing the weights up off the stack. At least for me, the initial push has always been the hardest part of the exercise. With this method that push is gone and the weights are moving before they feel the heaviest.
I worked out fasted and ate a large salad with Cajun chicken an hour afterwards.
