3-06-16 HY: Basketball + BB-Bulk: Back + 0-6 Abs- P2: L13 + Splits + TCF.

More training today.  We had a beautiful day and a lot of daylight.  We played basketball for over an hour. She wanted to learn some crazy circus shots to try, so we did some behind the back, over the head, spinning shots.  It was more play than training, but we both called it when we were tired.  Lots of fun.

I rested only a short time before I got started with my regular workout.  I'm going a little off schedule so I did Back, with only two routines left. I pretty much kept all the weights the same except for one move, the Dead Lift.  I went up 2.5kgs on the light and medium weights to 14.5 and 17kgs respectively.  My lower back was feeling a little gimpy with the heavy weights on the Drop Set.  So thankfully it was only 8x2 reps. I was happy to still keep the Pull Ups at straight sets, no breaks.  The Progressive Set with Reverse Grip Rows was tough because I tried to keep up with Segi's pace.  Somewhere in today's routine, my HR jumped passed 200bpm.  But this is the closest I've gotten to the DVD time so far.  I was feeling good on the Reverse Fly's as well.  I might be able to go up a bit the next time around.  In fact, I think I will go up a bit on all the weights the next time I do this routine.  Got a huge burn and pump.

L13 with 5kgs is still brutal.  I'm handling it in the first three sets, but that fourth set is just BRUTAL!  I'm controlling it until the last second, but once the set is done, I'm spent.  Before I move on to the last level, I want to have a little left to give at the end of the final set.

The Splits were good.  I deliberately pushed it to the limit and shifted my hip angle to accommodate going lower.  Now, I am really feeling a hitch or a block in my hip flexor.  The Flow was smooth and clean, as usual.  It was a nice cap off to the workout.

In the end, I torched a nice 781kcals.  It was good to get back to the resistance on Sunday.
