Week 2- Continued

After regrouping from Sunday ...I hit it hard on Monday...physically and emotionally.
I had a great workout:

warm up with the bar (45lbs) do a couple of sets of 10
85 x 2
105 x 2
135 x 1
145 x 1
155 x 1

SLDL's (stiff legged deadlifts)
95 x 10 ( 3 sets)

back extensions
bw x 10 (3 sets)

leg raises - lying
bw x 10 (3 sets)

That was it...but after my OVER TRAINING day on Sunday...I learned that less is better in this style of training.

Here's my log from Sunday...after looking at it I'm wondering if I'm a masochist !
Goodmornings
45*10
65*5
85*5
stopped= I was taking the bar up from the floor since the rack was in use. Couldn't put any more weight over my head and behind my neck alone. I saw goodmornings done on a Smith - tried it last week, but it was really awkward. I opted to pull it up from the floor

65*10
85*10
105* 5
115*3

The guys at teambix.com ripped me apart over this...I understand why now.
REST is equally important to building strength...Overdoing it can be detrimental to muscle growth. Please check this out...http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/bbinfo.php?page=Overtraining
I go to the bodybuilding website often.

Food was really on par today...I took in 2038 calories ( when cutting I'm around 1500-1700 cals), Protein was at 238 g, and carbs was at 108 g. Rule of thumb for training, Protein - 1 g per lb of body weight, 2g of carbs lb of body weight...so I hit the mark on Monday ! I ate so much I thought I' die !!!! All good stuff, tho:
Egg Beaters, Turkey Bacon, Talapia, Sweet potato, Wheat Bread, Honey.....
