Salmon burger? Is this just a piece of salmon on a bun or is it ground salmon?

Salmon burger? Is this just a piece of salmon on a bun or is it ground salmon?

it's a burger from costco. it's ground salmon i think. and it's super-easy to make when you're bleary-eyed in the morning. all you have to do is turn your stove on, or the electric grill in my case, and wait for it to be hot. then season the burger and put it on the grill. Wham. instant protein-packed breakfast.

30 minutes on the elliptical. which is good.

tomorrow, chiro appointment and then chest and back.

[Nighthawk]

didn't lift today. shoulders, knees, and elbows are all barking just a little. going to ride the bike and watch some Chikara Pro.

[David Lees]

Best to be safe than sorry. Props for hitting the cardio.

[Nighthawk]

shoulders still barking. I am hitting the cardio still. gonna try and lift tomorrow (leg day).

[Nighthawk]

not my best leg workout but i still got enough done to put it down.

lying leg curls: 2 warm-up sets of 20 with 40 pounds. then another three sets of 15 with 60 pounds.
seated leg curls: 3 sets of 15 with 100 pounds. THis is about where the trouble started.
Stiff-Legged Deadlifts: 2 sets of 15 with 100 pounds. After the second set, my back started to really bark. I took that as a sign to stop right then. From personal experience, when my back starts to bark and I keep pushing, i hurt myself worse.

Sorry about the lameness of this workout.

[Nighthawk]

i weigh 275 pounds.
