5-24-18 (Thursday) HY: Body Beast - Build: Back & Bis + AA40 Abs.

Closing out my resistance week with a morning Back & Bis workout today.  I was thinking to go up a little in weight today, but I was still feeling a bit gimpy in my back, but waking up in the morning, my back usually feels a bit gimpy so I decided to just see how my back held up and then go from there.  I would test it with some heavier weight if it felt good as my back warmed up.   So, as you can see below, I went up a little on the later sets, but I kept the weight for most of the Back section.  The big success is still being able to do the first two sets of Pull-Ups a full 10 reps.  But the slight disappointment was the third set was a burnout.  There was no upping the weights on the Giant Set today.  Moving to Biceps, the Chin-Ups were a bigger disappointment if you look at the numbers.  I'm not sure what happened.  But the rest of the routine was pretty much the same weights as the previous time.  Th only small rise was the 1 rep per set of the Airplane Cobra.

Going to the Abs, I still did the 5 rounds of the circuit instead of the prescribed 3, so I think my core is getting stronger.  But the burn was still present at the third round.



In the end, I burned 864 kcal.  Even though today was riddled with disappointment with regard to raising my weights, I got a good pump and burn on.
