Today was a different day. I had a school event that I had to attend on another campus which lasted for only an hour or so in the morning. But after that, free! So my wife and I went out for lunch and some errands. I got home early enough to do a full workout before my night class! Very happy about that.
Second round of Total Body, so I am hoping for a little progress.
Circuit Set 1, Pull-Up/Push-Up/Squat/Crunch. First round was the same as before. The second round of Pull-Ups seemed a little tougher that before. I maxed out at 11, hung for a couple breaths, then finish out the set, barely getting the 15th rep. Push Ups felt a bit easier to finish. On the Squat I increased the second set weight to 12kgs. Up from 7.5kgs.
Circuit Set 2, Incline Press/Bent-Over Row/Reverse Alternating Lunge/Plank Twist-Twist. This Circuit was the same all the way around. I still did the Single Arm Row instead of double. The PTT felt better. I didn't collapse at the end of the second set.
Circuit Set 3, 1, 1, 2 Military Press/Post Delt Raise/Stiff Leg Dead Lift/Russian Twist. Everything on this circuit was all the the same as last time. But on the first move, I felt like I lost some strength because I didn't have any reserve strength on the second round of the Presses. I barely made it to 10reps. And the very last rep was also most failure.
Circuit Set 4, Biceps Curl Up Hammer Down/Triceps Extension-Kickback/Calf Raise-Weight at Shoulders/ Side Forearm Plank with Hip Raise. Everything was the same, except for the Calf Raise weight in the second round. I went up to 17kgs from 14.5kgs.
I got a huge burn today, but the pump was negligible. As for progress, there was a little here and there, but then there were a few places that felt like a step back. So, overall, I don't feel like a lot of progress was made. Just one of those days, I guess. I'll do better next time.
The Abs were good today. I tried to really flex and engage and the burn came a lot faster. I'm going to have to do that more from now on. I was able to keep up with Segi's pace for all the moves, except the Windshield Wiper. Getting my legs up and over is really tough, and I go a lot slower than Segi does. But the burn was real.
Moving quickly into the Splits, I really pushed it today, and at least on the Left Side Splits, I progressed, but on everything else, I was meeting the limit. I may concentrate on the Left Side Splits so I can at least get one variation to the goal this year. The Flow was on point.
In the end, I torched a beautiful 1150+kcals. Burn, sweet BURN!!!
