This week, I'm sort of back to a "regular" schedule again, so I am able to spread out my resistance days a little better than previous weeks. Today, I got to do the final routine of the Push Circuit. Target muscles were Legs, Back and Chest. It was a pretty straight forward routine. I pretty much mirrored the previous time with regard to weights except for two moves, 6. Bench Press, and 8. Reverse-Grip Bent-Over Rows. Both of those moves, I went up to 25kgs from 22kgs. I was able to handle the Bench Press fine, but the Rows, 25kgs is still a little too heavy. I felt my form was off and my range of motion was smaller because it was too heavy for me to get all the way up. Plus, I was also worried about my back. So, next time, I'll probably go down to 22kgs again. Then, there are the Pull-Ups. I got a new toy today, a weight belt for bar work. I wish I had it when I was doing the OCR Dead Hang challenge last month. But I'm having fun with it now. So, I added 10kgs to my pull ups which is why the rep numbers are down. The first set, 5-Grip, I did only two rounds, down from 5 rounds. Then, I added 6 reps of Parallel Grip Pull-Ups for a video I made to show my new "Toy".
For the Wide Grip, I got only 4 reps, down from 10. Then Close Front, I got 5 reps, down from 10. Finally, Towel Pull-Ups, I got 5, down from 7. I was pretty happy with those numbers. Overall, it was a good routine. A few misjudgments on weights, but I'm satisfied.
I felt good, and I wanted to get in some focused Ab work, so I went and did the A40 Core routine. This time, to equal Ab Ripper 200, I did five rounds, and I was in pain! The final set was brutal, but I made it through. I ended the routine with a lovely Flow series. Later in the evening, I got in my EMS.
In the end, I burned a good 750+kcals. I'm glad I got that much. My area is still cold, but I'm now using a heater because I don't like to breath in the cold air when I'm breathing heavy. I wouldn't want to reactivate my bronchitis.
