As expected, I got home late on Sunday and was totally drained of any energy and motivation. I just wanted to do nothing and just vege out, so I did. I sort of patted myself on the back for doing my workout on Saturday night so I could take Sunday off.

Today, ends Week 4 or the Bulk Block so I wanted to really nail this routine today. I kept the weights at the same level so everything was fine there. But I felt like I lost some strength since the last time because I really struggled with the heavier weights. Right from the beginning I was really struggling. The first move was fine, but the Arnold Press was UGLY. The Drop Set was set at 17kgs and 15.75kgs. But less than half-way through the 17's, I died and had to stand up and use a kick up to get the weights up for the last 4-5 reps. Then for the 15.75's I had to basically stand up the whole time. Very disappointed in my performance with the Arnold Presses. Shoulders were getting a major burn with the Progressive Sets of Upright Rows. Again, trouble with the last weights. Basically, I was spent on every move and the last set was always burning out my shoulders today. Along with the major burn on the final sets. It was quite a workout. I wish I had felt a little more comfortable, but I guess that's not the point. Two steps forward one step back.

Abs were tough today. Same level 8 and 7, but I changed it up a little in level 7. The Plank move in level 7 is a one arm plank, but instead of just raising one arm, I also added raising the opposite leg. So I was essentially balancing on one arm and leg. Just one arm was too easy and I was getting almost zero burn from that move. I got an awesome burn today.

Moved right into the splits and was able to hit my mark by the second set. So I was happy. The Flows were also very smooth and clean. Good all around.

In the end, I torched a whopping 906kcals! That's the way to start off my week, and way to end the workout week schedule with a bang.
