Today: push day

Here I am working on legs, doing some serious squats.  Whew, hard work but gotta do it.  Legs are the biggest muscles--work them and you will get stronger faster than just doing upper body.  Increase weight with each set.  Walk funny for the rest of the day.

I alternate between "push" and "pull" days so each workout includes both upper and lower body.  It's a way of mixing it up, keeping my muscles a little off balance so I'm working them differently.

Meanwhile my weight has dropped seven pounds in the four weeks I've been training for the competition.  Losing weight faster than I intended so I'm eating more red meat than I was before.
