10-25-16 HY: Body Beast - Bulk: Back + ChaLEAN Extreme - I've Got Abs + Splits + TCF + Spooky Challenge 4.

I was feeling a little off all day.  Probably because I didn't get much sleep last night.  But when I got home from work, I was feeling extremely lazy and didn't feel like doing anything.  So I sat on the couch and just relaxed.  But, a thought hit me, that if I can get my workout done early, I can get to bed earlier and hopefully catch up on some sleep.  So that served as enough motivation to get me up and off my butt.  The workout got my engine running and I was feeling good.

Bulk Back is a good short, sweet and intense workout.  I didn't need to lower my weights because they were set at just the right level to almost burn me out even on the heavy end.  I didn't hit total failure on any of the moves, but the third round of Pull Ups came close.  I paused ON THE BAR at rep 9, but muscled it out.  The Progressive set was awesome.  It was good because I was able to make the plate switch quickly so I could keep pace with Segi.  Force Set was also great. Burned it up by the fourth set, and really had to push on the fifth set for both arms.  The Single Set Dead Lift, was probably the toughest move.  I was breathing really heavily because my legs were in on it.  The final Super Set was good.  The second set of Reverse Flies was brutal.  I had to bend my arms to get the weights up.  And on the final move, on the first set, I got my rep count back up to 12reps.  I was really trying to activate my back and lats, as Segi was talking about.  I could really feel them work it.

I moved quickly to abs.  I went to the limits of my range of motion on the first 2-3 moves and that just totally burned me out.  I was burning out almost midway through each move.  The killer move was the vertical ankle touch.  SCREAM!!! Man, that was tough.  Great burn and pump on the core!

I went right to the Splits, and it felt really good.  I was happy to get low again.  Then the Flow was nice, clean and smooth.  Then I remembered that today was the deadline for the 4th Group challenge, so I sucked it up and hammered out 2 rounds of the warm up, and then 3 rounds of the workout.

In the end, I torched 1077kcals.  Another great workout.
