7-09-18 (Monday) HY: Body Beast - Bulk: Legs + Anabolic Stretch: Legs + ChaLEAN Extreme - Extreme Abs + TCF.
Today is a Monday and I'm working out! Basically, I don't have my night class tonight, so I'm free! Excited to get a workout in on Monday.
After the last time, I decided to not go up in weights for my legs. What happened last time was that my legs were actually fine the next day, but the day after that, I was in pain with every step, and it just happened to be Pickle-Ball day so I was dying with every step and lunge for the ball. (But I still won 3 out of 4 games.) But I did actually end up going up on a few moves and sets. As you can see below, I went up on the last set of the first move, but only by 1 kg. I went up on the middle weight for the next Progressive set, but only by 1.25kgs. I went up by 2.5kgs on the Force Set, and it was actually fine. On the next Progressive Set, I went up only on the Heavy weight by 1kg. I also went up on the Drop Set of the first move in the Super Set, and on the second move, I went up on the last set. No upping the weight for the Calf Raises, but I was able to get to 50 reps without stopping. Although my calves were BURNING at the end. Again, I did the double, or both legs in each round. Hoping all will be well the second day.
The Anabolic Stretch was really tough today because it is a weighted balance move. I'm in the Single Leg Straight Leg Deadlift position. I wanted to hold it for One Minute, but I could only take 30 seconds with a 30-second rest. For five rounds on each leg. I like the Anabolic work, but I'm wondering if it will actually have any effect on my muscle growth and sculpting. But for now, I'll keep doing it.
Abs were fine, but I am still getting my moaning on from the burn. Abs are just so frustrating. I can sense them getting stronger, but I can't see the results because of my FRACKING HARD TO GET RID OF BELLY FAT!!! But I can't stop now. Topped it all off with a good Flow series.
In the end, I burned a good 910 kcals. Pretty much what I expected from Leg Day. Actually, it was a bigger burn than I expected.
Welcome to the new direction for this blog. In it, I will post my experiences and thoughts related to the sport of Pickleball and my efforts to grow Pickleball in the Prefecture of Kagoshima located in the southernmost tip of mainland Japan. I hope to post pictures and videos of the activities and events that are held in Kagoshima. And one day, hopefully, you will come and play some Pickleball with us! Please comment if you visit!
