becca (22.11.09): Swimming & my peanut weights

Swimming
Total distance: 1000 yards (for Rene, this is approximately 914.4 meters) = 20 laps

This was the sequence of swimming I followed:
-2 cycles of 2 laps of freestyle and 2 laps of backstroke
-4 laps breaststroke
-Kickboard work (i.e. legs only): 2 laps flutter kick and 2 laps breastroke kick
-2 laps of freestyle, 1 lap of backstroke, and 1 lap of breaststroke

Squats
Warmup:
8 x 45
5 x 65
3 x 85

Working:
5 x 110
5 x 110
5 x 110

I feel like I'm starting to get more "butt winking" as I increase the weight.

Bench
Warmup:
10 x 65

Working:
5 x 90
5 x 90
5 x 90

My working set went down from 95 to 90 because lately I have not been as regular about benching and the last time I tried to do 95, I could only get about 3-4 reps out per set.

Legs (rehabilitation exercises)
Legsled Legpress:
10 x 60 (left leg only)
10 x 80 (left leg only)

Hamstrings (isolated to left leg) on cables:
10 x 40
10 x 40
10 x 40

Adductor muscles (isolated to left leg) on cables:
10 x 40
10 x 40
10 x 40

Abductor muscles (isolated to left leg) on cables:
10 x 30
10 x 20

I think my adductor muscles are weaker than my abductor muscles, which is why I do not do as much work on the abductor muscles. Some think I need to strengthen my Vastus Medialis Oblique in order to regain full leg extension of my left leg. So I try to focus more on my adductor muscles because I think I get my VMO in there.
