Yes, that's it, just two routines today. Had a huge time crunch because an appointment went way overtime. So I'll have to do my Splits and maybe even some abs tomorrow night. But the good thing is that I can give my right calf an extra day of rest. It is a lot better than yesterday evening, but it is still very tender, and I can still feel the muscle fibers all bunched up. So still stretching is tough. But I'll try to roll it out some more.
I was thinking about doing a Body Beast routine to give my calf a full rest because Chalene does a lot of lower body work in all the routines, but after looking at the moves, I figured it would be okay with BC2 because the calf isn't directly targeted like in BC3 with those calf raises. So I stayed on schedule. I had a really tough time last round, so I decided to lower my weights a bit on certain moves. I had a huge problem today, and it wasn't the time. After such a long tennis session yesterday, my right forearm was just blown. So holding the heavy weights was extremely tough. I wasn't able to make it all the way through the 12 reps on a few of the moves. The first three moves were fine, but the second and third set of three moves was very tough. So tough that I had to break up the 12 reps and set the weights down for a bit and shake out my forearms. They got a huge pump and burn on the last six moves. As far as going down in weights, I went down on the last four weighted moves. But one good thing is that I was able to maintain the rep count for the pull ups and even raise the last two sets a bit. But my grip did me in. I could have gotten more in, but my grip failed me. Hopefully this will be a turning point for my forearms so I hope they get and stay stronger.
The Flow was fine. I was careful not to stress my knee or calf. It felt really stable so I was happy.
In the end, I torched 650+Kcals. I'm glad to be done with this week.
