HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!! to all you fathers out there!!
It was a good day. Not a usual Father's Day, but one where I had to be a father and do fatherish stuff. With one child away at school, and another busy with school, it was only appropriate that I do something for school So my wife and I attended my son's schools PTA meeting. It is something that I plan on attending only once unless dire necessity requires my attendance next year. Not really my cup of tea. Enough said. I was glad to be doing something for my son in his first year of college. But we went on a lot of errands before getting home and it was quite late by the time we got home. I knew my girls were wanting to have a celebration in the evening so I needed to get to my workout right away. Another time crunch.
Back for another round of Push Phase, so the target muscles today were Biceps, Legs, Triceps, plus my pull ups. After the first round last week, I learned a few thing and so I adjusted my weights accordingly. The first 2 moves (not including the pull ups) were the same, but the 3rd move, I went from 11.25kgs to a flat 12kgs. On the next move, I went down from 13.25kgs to 12kgs. With the heavier weight, I couldn't get my elbows away from my sides like Chalene was instructing, I was just going straight up with the dumbbells and not out. The 12's allowed me to have the right form. Move 7. moved up from 12.5kgs to 13.25kgs. Chalene said to go down from the first move, but for me, I agree with Tony when he says that Hammer Curls a little easier than regular curls so heavy up the weights. I was able to do it okay with good form. The only other little change I did was the second set of Pull Ups. I did Towel Pull Ups in two sets last time with two different grips. This time, I did just the one grip and went for a straight set. I got a huge pump and burn from this routine. And the pump lasted well into the evening.
I quickly moved to Ab Burner because time was running short. But still went very hard and got a good burn.
I only had time to get through the core so I stopped and showered. We had our Father's Day celebration. It was nice to eat together. And per my request, we had order in pizza. But I got the thin crust and less cheese so I wouldn't have to be too guilty. But it was a party, so nope, NO GUILT! Just fun with my girls. Then, we called my Dad and we ended up talking for about 90 minutes. Then, I got to finish out my workout.
The Splits were really good today. There is one point that I reach where I can really push low, especially on the Straddle Splits. I think I will be able to hit the full splits within the next couple months if I can keep on this pace. The Flow was also smooth and clean.
In the end, I torched 970+kcals not including the Splits and Flow. Good day!
