This workout finishes the Build Phase. From the next resistance workout, I get to start the Bulk Phase of Body Beast. I actually like the Bulk Phase because each routine focuses on a specific muscle group and burns it out. I was able to go up in weight on most of the sets except for the sets in the Giant Set. The first Single Set went up 1.25kgs all around. The Lateral Raise went up .5kgs. It doesn't sound like much, but it was really tough. The Upright Row was up and down. Last time the Drop Set was too heavy, so I lowered it and I pretty much hit failure. In the Giant Set, the first move was fine to the end, but the 1,1,2 Front Raise and Rear Delt Raise third set was killer. I had to consciously tell myself to breathe. But my form was better than last time. I hit a new record for Shrug weight. I went up to 28kgs. Not only did I hand the 1kg hand-weight on the safety clamp, but I rested my 2kg dumbbell on the top to give the extra weight some stability. It looks like this:
The Sagi Six-Way was probably the most brutal today. I started off with 4kgs, and I was huffing and puffing to get through the 12 reps. I needed several mid-set breaks to get through it. I was really thinking to go down to 3kgs for the last set. But when it came right down to it, I had to keep the 4kgs.
Then I hit a new record on the Tuck & Rolls. I went for 50 reps on both sets and crushed it. I was very happy to get it.
The last RevAbs - Mercy Abs with all the extras happened but with one change. My shoulders were so fried, I had to switch out the 4kg dumbbells in the Spice Round for 3kgs. I just couldn't get up on the situps or hold 4kgs up on the Push Kicks. 3kgs was plenty heavy today.
In the end, I burned 897 kcal. I'm really looking forward to the Bulk Phase, coming up on Thursday!
