5-31-16 HY: Weight Machines + Splits + TCF.

Today was an insanely busy day for me.  I literally didn't have more than 5 minutes between things all day.  My day started at 6:30am and finally slowed down after I got home and did the Splits and Flow at 10pm.  But today, I'll just talk about my workout. 

Tuesday is a resistance day.  I usually get home around 5:30pm and do a scheduled routine, which in this case should have been ChaLEAN Extreme: Push Circuit 1.  But, a company I teach at had to move their class from Wednesday to Today, so I wouldn't get home until late.  So that forced me to do resistance work at my school on their Universal Weight Machines.  Plus, I didn't have a lot of time between a class I teach and a faculty meeting so I slipped it in between.  I did it Body Beast style alternating between upper body machines and lower body machines.  There are the machines I used along with the weights I did them at,  The reps for the weighted moves were at 15-12-8:

Chest Press 30-40-50kgs
Leg Press 40-50-60kgs
Wide Pull Ups 12reps
Hamstring Curls 30-32.5-35kgs
Row Machine 40-50-60kgs
Chin Ups 15reps
Calf Raises 80-90-100kgs
Triceps Push Down 20-25-30kgs
Close Front Pull Ups 15reps
Leg Extension 60-70-80kgs

I got a huge pump and I felt like I really moved some weights.  I still don't know if the numbers on the plates actually reflect the true weight I'm pushing though.  For example, on the chest press, each handle is connected to a separate stack of weight plates, so when I say I pushed 50kgs, The is the weight for only one side.  If I add both the left and right stacks, I'd be pushing 100kgs.  But I can't imagine I'm actually Chest Pressing 100kgs.  But it definitely feels heavier than my dumbbells, but I can't tell if it is twice as heavy as my Max on my heavy set of dumbbells which is 25kgs each. 

I got home close to 10pm and relaxed a bit with my wife talking about the day, but quickly got to my splits because I know the later it got, the less likely I would have the energy to do them, so I went to it as quickly as possible.  It felt good, really good.  Up until today, when transitioning from left side splits to straddle splits I could get low, but when transitioning from right side splits to straddle splits there seemed to be something preventing me from going low, like an out of position tendon or something.  But today, both sides were feeling good. No out of position anything keeping me from going low.  So I pushed lower today.  I think I'm starting to get of my latest plateau.  The Flow was really good as well.  No pain anywhere.

At the end of the Weight Machines session, I torched 730+kcals.  Good session and nice variety to my hybrid.  But I can't weight to get back to my regularly scheduled routines.
