Sleep...3/17


After 4 days i finally had 8h of sleep. Sleep is important for recovery stage.

Why sleep is important:

As research has shown, sleep is important for any reasons. For bodybuilders, sleep is particularly important as it restores brain function and alertness in preparation for intense training sessions.
Sleep also enhances muscular recovery through protein synthesis and human growth hormone release. Getting eight to ten hours of quality sleep every night will promote these factors as well as general well being. Recovery will take a backward step if one does not prioritize sleep, so get to sleep if you want to grow. 

Todays workout:


1. Deadlift: 8x, 8x, 6x 6x
2. Barbell bent-over row: 10x, 10x, 8x, 8x (with resisteance band)
3. Wide grip pulldown: 15x, 15x, 12x
4. Dumbbell straight-arm pullback: 20x, 18x, 15x
5. Close grip bench press: 8x, 8x, 6x (with resisteance band)
6. Dips: 10x, 10x, 8x
7. Triceps rope pushdown: 15x, 15x, 12x
8. Dumbbell overhead triceps extension: 20x, 18x, 15x
9. L SIT: 3x (as many second as you can hold (L sit))
10. Spider crawl: 16x, 16x, 16x
11. Crunches with band: 20x, 20x, 20x or as many as you can do (Band crunches).
 
Here (10 benefits) you can read benefits of using resistance band. Take care.

Weather is not an excuse... 1/3


Heavy rain all day long. Summer 2014 its all about the rain, rain and guest what rain! Sick of this weather. I waited and waited and finally around 19h it stops. First i wanted to go on a stadium, but i change my mind i went to old HIIT trening place. Because of the wet asphalt, sprints was difficult, i used a lot more energy for reaching the top.

Workout:
  • 1.4km warming up
  • 10 sprints
  • 1km running
