HY: ChaLEAN Extreme-Lean Circuit 1 + Splits + TCF + Tennis.
I previously thought that I would do Push Circuit again, but I decided to go on with Lean Circuit, then do the whole thing again from next week.
This routine was tough. Going with the slow reps again really pushes me out of my comfort zone for weights. This circuit though, goes back to the 12 reps so I went down a bit with my weight. This also uses compound lower body upper body moves to strengthen the core. But... it really worked out my biceps today. The got a great GREAT pump and Major Burn. I also added a lot of extra moves along with my pull ups. I added them a while ago so I just stuck with them. It also got my calves really good. I had to take a mid-set break in the later half of the routine. I guess I was also really gripping the dumbbell because my forearms were really tired. I was only using 10kgs, but it was really tough. I previously used 14.5kgs, but I wasn't using the slow reps. I have to say it again, the slow reps are really tasking. There was one move that really got me. The Hamstring Curl with the thigh toner almost brought on a cramp in my hammys. I had never done that move with a real thigh toner before so this was new. OWWW! Great move for the hammys! I wasn't able to go all 12 reps for the final set of chin ups my arms were so maxed out, but I was able to do the 8-4 split. In the cool down, I was doing the side stretch and something clicked in my right hip so I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do splits. But I stretched it out and it was fine.

Splits were tough. I had to push it hard to get to my mark. My hips are really just tight, so I need to push it every time or it will close up for the next day. So coming into it from an off day is always tough.
The Flow was good. I went for a moderate to slow Flow, just to make sure my form and balance were still on point. They were! I had a great workout. It was hot in my room, so I had the fan on me the whole time so I didn't sweat that much. I was heading for the shower when my wife asked if I wanted to play tennis so I went to play tennis with my wife and daughter. It was a lot of fun. My daughter burned me a few times. LOL!
For the first workout, I torched a good 1000+kcals. During the tennis, I torched a good 700+kcals! Great way to start my week.
