Today, I begin the second round of the Build Phase of Body Beast. I really didn't want to print out another worksheet, so I added the information to the old worksheet and then color-coded today's numbers in blue. As you can see, on a lot of the moves, I didn't go up in weight, and when I did go up, it was only a max of 2.5kgs. and a minimum of 1kg. I really wanted to go up in weight all around, but I was feeling a little off today, so I held back from doing too much. I especially felt it on the first move. My left forearm was fatiguing really quickly and became rather strained at the end of the first set. But I did push it on the Drop Sets, and the final sets. The biggest jump overall was in the Giant Set. All the weight numbers went up, but the Push-Up reps stayed the same. I was just burned out by the time I got to the Decline Push-Ups. Triceps were feeling it on a few of the Chest moves. For example, the Close Grip press, the first move in the Giant Set, as I was lowering the dumbbells for a more eccentric workout, my triceps were working hard. So by the time I got to the Triceps section of the routine, they were already feeling it. Again, I didn't feel the strength to do the Triceps Push-Ups on my toes, so I started off on my knees. And that was brutal enough. I got a good pump and burn from this routine.
In the end, I burned 691 kcals. It was a good session, and I was feeling a little more like myself at the end.
