Thursday Workout 3/10

Yesterday Cowboy Jeff and I did the one exercise that I, to this day, have never given to a client. I've given variations of this exercise to clients...but not this particular variation.

Here is how it went (the real nasty part is at the end)
-10 minute moderate pace on the Spinner
-10 minutes stretching
-3 sets of 25 reps @ 225lbs Leg Press Calf raise
-3 sets of 25 reps @ 5lbs of Free Motion/Ab Mat/Butterfly Sit up
-3 sets Elbow to Knee Core Tuck @ 10 reps

Then it got nasty...
-50 reps of negative/reverse counting leg press @ 225lbs. This means all 230lbs of Cowboy Jeff presses down with his foot on the downward phase of the leg press while I slowly resist his pressure. At any point, if we stop or rest the reps start to roll off. Meaning if we stop at 31 to take a break...we start losing reps...30...29...28, etc.

By the time this set was over, I was hoarse from yelling, my arms were in a spasm from my body breaking down over 50 reps, my knees were shaking uncontrollably, and Cowboy jeff was laughing at me saying, "dude, you're a screamer." Screamer...you bet... I felt like I was being tortured by Jack Bauer. That was a lot of fun and I can't wait to do it again in a few weeks.

I finished up with 3 sets of burn-out cable tricep extensions @ 50lbs. Reps ranged from 15-20 reps. Spent.
