W12D1, Yoga Shred Challenge, Day 9 + SPS P4: Back & Triceps + Splits + Tai Cheng Flow.
Saturday was beautiful! Sun was out, and temps were perfect. Went to a small park near my house and tried to do muscles ups. The bar was sticky and it hurt a bit because there was no sliding. I didn't get up, but I got further uptown I have in the past. I'll need to check my technique because I feel like I'm strong enough to do them, but I'm just getting stuck at the same point. More time o...n that one is needed.

Today, I was very busy right off. My daughter had a soccer game so we went to watch. Unlike yesterday, it was cold and rainy. Terrible conditions for a game. Worse for spectators. I had to try to dry soaked jerseys between games, and bring stuff back and forth from the car. Busy busy, but I loved watching my daughter play. Everyone was cold and very wet. When I got home, I did not feel like doing anything. Because of that feeling, I knew I had to do my workout as soon as possible, so I got to it.
After a good yoga warm up, I got to the weights. Not many moves today, but burn out the target muscles. First was 3 sets of Dead Lifts (12 reps) supersetted with Prone Cobras (10 reps). My back was feeling okay so I went up To 20kgs in weight. At the end of it, my back was burning, but in a good way. No dangerous pain. Next was 4 sets of One Arm Rows (both arms of 8 reps, 25kgs) supersetted with again Prone Cobras. Although Mike didn't call for it, I did 2 sets each of elbow in then out grip. My back was really feeling it. Burn burn. 4 sets of Skull Crushers (12 reps, 10kgsx2) with weighted (25kgs) dips. I thought this would be easy, but NO! My Triceps were getting a huge pump and burn. Failure came suddenly. The final move was functional cardio and core. 4 sets of Jumping Lunges into Lying Heel Touches. 20 sec. Each with 20 sec. Rest. It was a good burn out to finish out the routine.
Splits and Flow brought good closure to my workout. Calm and smooth and peaceful.
