Workout Log 3-29-2013: Squats

Today ended week 2 of my Cube Method training. I'm feeling really good (pretty carb depleted) but my workouts overall have been awesome! Here is what today looked like:

Speed Squats: 5x2 @80%
Good Mornings: 3x8
Lunges: 3x12
Leg Press: 3x20
Back Extension: 50 total reps
Band Leg Curl: 2x50
Abs
Conditioning

My normal (and preferred) workout time is generally around 3:30 in the afternoon. Things have been pretty hectic with work lately so the only time I had to train today was at 6:00 am. I am very much a morning person but not so much for lifting. I was a little uneasy about putting squats this early in the day but it worked quite well! I was very pleased with how the weights felt and have felt pretty energized all day! (Ask me in a few hours and I'll probably be ready for naptime haha). I'm really excited for week 3 of the program. The only complaint I have so far is that I really feel the effects of having carbs once a week. I've been having crazy bad cravings the last couple days! If you're like me and keep your carbs low most days but find yourself wanting a treat then take a look at this awesome recipe posted today on elitefts.com that was written by one of my all time favorite people :)

It's for a low carb treat; chocolate peanut butter protein pudding! I can't wait to try it as I never so no to peanut butter :)

That's all for now. Enjoy the day and train hard!!
