Tuesday Nov. 8, ’11
5:00 AM Legs:
Leg extensions 5×12 – 15
Leg Press 4×12 – 15
Cable Squat 3 x 12 – 20 (because of my c6 vertebrae I can’t squat but I found a belt at the gym that can attach to the low cable cross over, I hold the handles in front of me and squat. No strain on my neck and an excellent leg exercise.
Lying leg curl 4 x 10 – 12
Calf raise 3 x 20 – 30
Leg press 4×20 super set teed with Leg press calf raises 4×20. This was the vertical leg press machine in the gym. I would do the leg press, then switch foot position and do the calf raise. Rest 30 seconds and do it again until I did 4 sets.
*all sets after warm up
2:30 PM 30 minutes on the step mill.
Nutrition: 6 meals. 15 portions of protein, 0 cautious carbs (For meal plans and nutrition information see The Power of Positive Fitness) My nutrition consisted of eggs, protein drinks, fish & chicken breast. Drink: coffee with Steviva which is all natural and water.
Nutritional Supplements: DOUBLE X Vitamin/ Mineral/ Phytonutrient, Carlsons very finest fish oil.
Sports Supplements:Labrada ProV60, Labrada Glutalean, Labrada Hica Max, Muscle Link ZMA-T
Note: Carlson’s Very Finest Fish Oil is the best I could find on the market. I have been taking if for several years and it has a ton of benefits. It is good for your blood lipid profile, joints, brain, body fat % and the list goes on. If you are not taking a good fish oil you need to start. Make sure it is a good liquid fish oil like Carlson’s. The capsule sit on the shelf so long the get putrid and lose purity.

Also Steve and I are working on a new eBook entitled “Old School New Body ~ A Guide To Getting Lean, Muscular And Healthy Through Midlife And Beyond”
This is how I will organize my body parts:
