1-3-16 HY: Body Beast- Bulk: Shoulders + 0-6 Abs- P2: Level 6 & 5 + Splits + TCF.
Today's Body Beast finishes out the second week of Block 2. I kept the weights the same for all the moves except the second Super Set's second move, Plate Twist-Twist. I used 5kgs all three sets last time, but this time, only the first set was 5kgs and I felt it was too light, so I went up to 7.5kgs for the last two sets, and that was more than enough. The final set was really tough just keeping the plate up during the Twist-Twist. I was able to up my reps for the very last move, Plank Twist-Twist. Same for the first set, but went up from 29 reps to 33 reps for the final set. I was using really light weights on the straight arm stuff to keep form and really hit my shoulders. The second move in the first Super Set just about burned me out for the rest of the workout. Arnold Press (12/13.25/15.75/14.5kgs). The second set was just about my limit for that amount of reps. The Drop Set was extremely tough, I had to really push and use a little bit of a back arch to get the dumbbells up. Also, a slight mid-set break was needed, but not that long. When I am fresh, I usually did 17-19.5kgs, but here, the lighter weights are more than enough. Right from the first set, I was feeling the huge pump and with the progressive sets, the BURN came. Great Workout!
I decided to go with levels 6 and 5 again. Yesterday, I was shaking and groaning a little too much for my liking. I want to be a little more in control of my faculties before I move up. Today, I was able to really nail all the moves. However, in the later set, actually the 3rd set, I almost lost my balance on the one-legged Swiss Ball Plank. So not yet there. I have to be in total control all the time. However, I was able to get through all the moves with minimal groaning and maximum intensity. I really feel the progressions working well in making my core stronger.
Splits and Flow were on point.
In the end, I torched a solid 685kcals. Good workout all around today.
