Nicholas saldanha 8 week workout blog

  This is my second abs workout this week. I did a 15 minuet workout with a minuet for every workout and then a few minutes of rest in between. For this workout I want to primarily focus on my lower abs since they are the only ones that aren’t showing. I started my workout by doing one minute of figure 8’s, then one minute of hands back raises, then twisting pistons for one minute, then one minute of seated app curls (counter clockwise), and another set clockwise and I finished off with scissor kicks for a minuet. This workout was incredibly intense, I had to stop throughout the one minute since my abs were hurting too much. My bottom abs I guess are the least developed and because that caused me to have the hardest time.

For my scheduled Wednesday workout session with my trainer we decided to focus on chest and back but still incorporate an entire full body workout. We started the work out with bench press three sets for 10 to 6 reps. For my first set I did 95 lbs then my next set I did 105 lbs and I finished with another set of 95 lbs. we then moved on to do three separate workouts completely dedicated to back and shoulders. We started off with back rows on a machine for three sets of 10 reps. We then moved on to lat pull downs for three sets of 10 reps and finished off with shoulder press for three sets of 10 reps. Each one of these exercises were done with 95 lbs. In between a complet set of these 3 exercises I did 20 sit ups with  A 25 pound weight, and total three sets were done for 20 reps. After my back and abdomen were complete we moved onto legs by doing farmers deadlifts for three sets of 10-15 reps. For my first set I did 135 pounds and for the next 2 I did 195 lbs. I finished out my tra...

  For this workout I did a 20 minuit abs blast focusing primarily on my lower abs. I did 2 reps of 4 exercises them being straight arm Russian twists, heel taps, opposite tow retouches and bicycles. The intensity was quite intense since each exercise was done until failure but after each exercise a 15 second brake was taken. I try to do abs at least once a week but I want to try to do them more frequently. 

 My girlfriend has been obsessed with doing stretches. Since last week I had done three workouts my body is really sore this week and my girlfriend saw that I was struggling so she took advantage of the fact that I had to do these blogs and convinced me to do a stretch with her. The stretch was 20 minutes long and targeted your entire body from arms to legs to back etc… . I FEEL LESS OF A MAN. No im just joking it was actually really helpful. It hurt a lot during. The stretch but i feel a lot better now and mobile. I used to stretch quite a bit but have recently gotten lazy and stiff. I now plan to stretch before and after my workout to prevent excessive soreness after workouts. Play also got a lecture for my girlfriend telling me how important stretches wear to prevent injuries and I agree with her.

 For this blog post I decided to make a healthy breakfast withy my girlfriend. I made 2 blt sandwich fro me and 2 simple egg/ cheese sandwich for my girlfriend. Each of my sandwichs consisted of 2 pan toasted pieces of bread, with salami 5 pieces of cooked salami, some lettuce, a cooked egg, and cheese. I dont get the chance to cook a lot because i dont really have the time, this changed today since it is Good Friday an di dont have school. My breakfast incorporated almost all the requirements for a healthy meal. It had protein (from the salami and the egg), it had vegetables (lettuce), it had dairy products(cheese and i had a glass of milk and coffee),it didn’t have any grains but almost everything else was covered. I started cooking at 10 and it took till 10:34 to finish both sandwiches for me and my girlfriend (2 each so 4 sandwiches) 34 min. Me eating my sandwhich My sandwich My girlfriends sandwich
