This is the first time in a LONG time that I've done two resistance days in a row.  But there was no problem because yesterday was Legs and today is Chest.  No worries, and my legs are not that sore either so it's all good.

Today, I'm starting the third round of the Bulk phase.  There are 6 rounds in all so I'm almost halfway through.  I'm going through a big change in my methodology, though.  The last two times I went through the Chest routine, my form totally SUCKED!!!  I knew it, but I was too worried about keeping the weight at or higher than before.  This time, I'm thinking about and focusing on PERFECT FORM.  Plus, Since I was activating tertiary muscles to aid in the lifting of the too heavy weights, I wasn't able to really hit my target muscles.  I'm not going to write out all the changes here because you can just look at the worksheet.  I went down where I needed to and stayed when I needed to.  But as you can see, I needed to go way down in order to be able to activate my Chest muscles.  I also really wanted to pace myself so I could do the Push-Ups at the end.  The last two times I went through Bulk: Chest I couldn't hardly get one full Push-Up done.  This time, I did all the reps without stopping.  I also went all the way down on each rep.  But I was dying at the end of each set.  My form was fine, but my breathing was terrible.  I had to bear down to get it done.  But this was a much better pace for me.  Oh, and I didn't do any additional Calf Raises this time since I had done a ton yesterday.

I was able to do the Anabolic stretch on my chest, but it hit a lot of places around my chest as well.

New Round means new Ab routine.  This round I have chosen P90X2's X2 Ab Ripper.  And I could not get through it.  Those static holds are brutal after each rep.  Major burn and major moaning.  I took several small breaks throughout the routine.  Without them, I probably would have cramped up.

In the end, I burned 682 kcal.  Glad to be going down in weight and focusing on form.  I really need to watch my mechanics for each move so I don't injure myself.
