HY: Weight Machine + Splits + TCF.
Had a big shake for breakfast then went to the gym, about an hour drive. Got right into the weight room. To mix it up a bit, I went down about 10kgs on most of the stations and did 12 reps instead of 8 with the 10kgs. I kept the hamstring curls the same as usual but went with 12 reps. I also kept the Flies and Reverse Flies the same with the additional reps. I went down from 150kgs on the squat machine to 80-100kgs, but I kept the calf rai...ses at 100kgs. Finally, I kept the preacher curls and Tricep push away at 20kgs. Also, kept the pull up count at 12. One other big change today, just to mix it up, was instead of doing the three sets consecutively, just waiting on the machine, I went from station to station as fast and as smoothly as possible, but not rushing. I did that circuit three times. There was a great cardio affect, but the pump wasn't as good as it is with the heavier and less reps. I will probably try the fast circuit but with only 8 reps and the +10kgs weights and see how that goes.

Today, I tried to do the splits in the gym instead of waiting till I got home. I wanted to take advantage of the muscle heat. The bad thing is that there is not cushion on the floor, so I rolled up my towel and went down one knee at a time. On the straddle splits, I had a hard time getting down because I was wearing shoes and the surface was sticky, so it took about 15-20 seconds just to get down to my limit, then I started my time. It was like that from all the splits moves, so the stretch today took a few minutes longer than usual. I didn't want to take my shoes off because the floor is kind of... ewwww. I think I try to find some old towels to put under my feet so they can slide out next time.
Space was limited for the Flow, so I did them for a minimum number of times. I will probably do more tonight. The surprise for me was the calorie burn. In that relatively short period of time, I torched over 1000kcals. I was like, WHOA! That cardio affect must have really been high today. I also forgot my iTouch so no music. Big mistake. When there is no music, I feel like I just want to get it over with, instead of enjoying the process. I'll have to prepare better next time. But that not withstanding, I had a good workout.
