7-26-15 HY: ChaLEAN Extreme-Push Circuit 1 + PiYo-Buns + ChaLEAN Extreme-Extreme Abs + Splits + TCF.
Here is another big day. Original plan was to play tennis but the passing typhoon prevented that from coming to fruition. So, I went to Plan B. I played a lot of ping pong and then got to my workout. Had a lot of time today, so I was raring to go.
New week, new circuit. I went heavy today. I mostly chose the right weight because I was just on the verge of failure on most... moves. I felt the burn and pump. Today was Arms and Legs. Lots of Curl variations, Heavy squats, tricep extensions, etc.The one thing I don't understand about this routine is the final move is just regular push ups. The previous two tri-sets was biceps/legs/Triceps. But on the last tri-set, she ended with regular push ups. So, instead of doing those, I did triangle push ups to nail my triceps hard. Also, I didn't go for the rep count, but for SLOW Form. I really like the Push Circuit because the moves are isolated as opposed to the compound moves in the other two circuits. But I added a lot of time because of changing the weight plates on my dumbbells. One thing I tried to do was increase my range of motions and keep the moves on the slow pace with Chalene. That is where my deep burn came from. One issue I have with working out, and maybe someone can help me with this, but on most of the other muscles I isolate, the pump and burn last a long time, like close to 20-30 minutes after the workout, but even though I do a lot of bicep work, the pump and burn all but disappears within minutes. It has always been that way for me. Any ideas as to why this is would be helpful.

With all the heavy weighted leg work, I was a bit nervous about Buns. But I really wanted to get it in today. I lasted pretty much all the way through. I didn't tap out more than 3 times today. I was very happy about that. I felt a lot better with the second and third series.
Then I went back to CE for my abs, but I wanted to step it up a bit this week, so my ab routines will be the more intense routines. In combination with trying to increase power and range of motion, I got an excellent pump and burn today in my core.
The splits and Flow were very satisfying. Pushing to the pain.
In the end, I torched over 1100kcals. That is due to a lot of leg work today. Great way to start the week!
