1/2 gallon of water
-- water comments: I know I'm getting more than a gallon a day. How? well I get these 2.5 gallon jugs, rectangular boxes and they hold that much water. I drink about 1/2 of it or more in a day, and I expect to be drinking probably 2 gallons of a container now that it's near 90'F outside.
-- when I was doing standing calf raises I was sharing it with another guy. Shorter than me, rounded out in all the right places but not veiny. He was doing 280 lbs and when he went up, he did it staggered like. Like up a little, maybe 3 inches, hold for 1/2 a second then get to the top and hold for a second and back down again, repeat. He was doing [not paying 100% attention to him but I noticed this much] 6 or 10 reps. I asked him about his technique and he admitted it should be smooth, but he was just doing em' that way, though he didn't really say why he was doing it like he was. He also said big numbers and small reps equal mass but I wondered why he was doing 10 reps, that's not really small. When I think small reps, I think of 3-4. Anyway, it was fun having a buddy for a few sets, even though was funny me doing so little and being so much bigger than him and he being kinda small [height-wise] and doing so much.
-- I initially planned on doing hams, but I wasn't really 100% ready to hit them so did calves again. I can't go to failure on calves, but I have to stop when the burn is too intense. It is a burning pain actually, but it's gets bad fast but then doesn't really get anymore intense. Like it jacks up fast and then just stays there. I do work through the burn [****, I said it started on my second set on leg extensions doing quads and then the calf burn started really hardcore one my first seated calf raise set... i worked lot through the calf burning.]
-- Tris and hams tomorrow. I know I'm not sticking to my split. Exams and **** are ****ing with my head, sometimes I have trouble doing simple tasks I'm so stressed out, and I didn't really expect to have a great workout, but it was good because I was able to do the volume I wanted to.
Tris I can burn out, expecting to keep up with my volume reps, see how that goes. Hams the same. I'll try out this proper HIIT on the track tomorrow. As far as exams go, thurs is the day I'm worried about, but after that it's clear sailing. Hopefully in a few weeks [in my job by then] I'll be less stressed and my workouts will be really enjoyable.
