Pretty normal day today. Had some work and meetings, but everything went as well as could be expected except for one thing, my iPad crashed. I haven't backed it up either so I'm up the poop creek. I'm going to try and get it fixed at the Apple Store tomorrow, but if not, at least get them to back up my data to the cloud. Fingers crossed.
Today is the second to last round of my final round of Body Beast. I'll finish up, then do other stuff until I can start Insanity - MAX: 30 from January 1, 2017. That is the program I've been wanting to do since summer. But as for today, I went up in weight on all the formerly 7.5kgs to 8.75kgs on the first rounds, then sometime went up and sometimes stayed with the previous weight. As you can see, I needed to start a new column for today's workout on the worksheet. Pull Up strength is still bottoming out in the second round. Kept the 10/5 split. Everything else in the first Circuit Set was fine.
In the second Circuit Set, I kept the first round weight, but went up in the second round on the Incline Press. Almost failed on the last rep, I felt the wiggle. Bent-Over Rows, still doing single arm, and I kept the weights the same. For the Reverse Alternating Lunge, I went up 1.25kgs for the first round, the up 2.5kgs in the second round to 14.5kgs. I was dying! That was a lot of weight and a lot of reps.
For the third Circuit Set, 1,1,2 Military Press, went up to 8.75kgs and that was the limit. I really felt it. But that pushed me for the second round. I stuck with 12kgs, but I was able to go to 11reps for an 11/4 split. The Post Delt Raise, I went up to 5kgs from 4kgs on the first round, then went up only .5kgs in the second round. This is one of the toughest moves for me. Not a lot of stability with that muscle group. Second round only added .5kgs, but I could feel the difference. Russian Twist with weight, and my legs up. That was a tough move.
For the final Circuit Set, as I said, all the 7.5kgs went up to 8.75kgs in the first round, but stayed at 12kgs for the second round. On the Calf Raise, I up both weights, first and second rounds, by 1.25kgs. Really felt it at the top of the rep. Bi's and Tri's, Tought combo. I sweat a lot this workout. And I was winded more times than I wanted, but I'm trying to keep my water intake up, even in the winter. I really felt the pump and burn today. Maxed out a lot more.
Abs, gave me the necessary burn I was looking for, and the Splits and Flow were on it. Still not ready for the third round, but I'm going to add it someday soon.
In the end, I torched well over 1100kcals. That's a lot of calories. But I'm still recovering from the big meal yesterday, and the bit of ice cream I had for my birthday celebration. with my girls. It was a good day.
