I totally had everything going this morning, but my HRM had a problem so I got no calorie burn count today. Very unhappy. This isn't the first time this has happened, and whenever it does, I sort of feel like I wasted my workout. I know I burned calories but without a number it doesn't seem real. I know, it's stupid, but a huge motivational factor for me is seeing that number at the end of each workout.
I pretty much kept the same weights as the last time on the 12th. I was happy that I could do 10 reps on the first two sets of Pull-Ups, and then one more initially on the third set than last time. That is a huge positive for me. I went up a little on the Force Set because of the "light" notation from the previous time. 13.25kgs seems to work because by the fourth set, I was really feeling it. If I go up to 14.5kgs, I definitely think I will hit failure by the 4th set. I also went up big on the Drop Set of the Dead Lift. I went up to 30kgs. This time I balanced my 4kg dumbbell and hung my 1kg hand-weight. Balancing them was a bit tricky, but it workout pretty well. I could really feel the difference 5kgs makes. Then for the Drop, I switched out the 4kg weight for the 2kg weight. The final rise was on the Plank Rotation, first set. I went up to 7.5kgs on the first set, and kept it for the second. Still only 10 reps. I was pretty tired and winded by the final rep.
For some reason, my abs were really taxed today. I wasn't able to hold the Clock Work rotations off the ground. I had to come down for a rest. And then a few time afterwards, I had to break. Unlike last time, when I went all the way through with Chalene and no breaks. Maybe my abs are weaker in the mornings. Who knows?
In the end, due to the HRM Malfunction, I have not calorie count. Overall a good solid workout today.
