The second routine in the Bulk Phase today and I was able to keep the weight levels from the Build Phase and even raise a few moves heavier. Like the first move, I went up 1.25kgs for the Drop Set. But I was a bit disappointed by the Pull-Ups. I definitely lost strength in that area. I want to gain that back, but it is not in the program so I'm going to have to figure something out. The progressive set was fine. I was able to handle all the sets, so I think I'll go up the next time around. As well as the Force Set. 12kgs was a bit light, so I'll go up a bit more next time. For the deadlift, I wanted to go heavier, but I was still a little worried about my back, so I kept it within a doable range. Moves that require straight arms like the Reverse Fly are killers for me. 5kgs are fine, but 7.5kgs was pushing it a bit too much. I'm at my limit with the Plank Rotations and 7.5kgs. My Back was feeling it at the end.
Today, during Beast: Abs, I was able to go down a bit on the Bucket Drops. Last time, my arms were fried and I couldn't go down at all. Abs are getting stronger. I just wish they would get flatter.
In the end, I burned a good 710 kcal. I like this trouble-spot focus. But what I don't like about my situation right now is that it is a long time between repeat routines so I'm thinking to do a little more Full-Body at the end of each focused routine. Just a couple moves to keep the muscle group activated.
