7-12-18 (Thursday) HY: Body Beast - Bulk: Back + Anabolic Stretch + P90X2 - X2 Ab Ripper + TCF + PU/PU Challenge.

7-12-18 (Thursday) HY: Body Beast - Bulk: Back + Anabolic Stretch + P90X2 - X2 Ab Ripper + TCF + PU/PU Challenge.

I was a little nervous about this routine because to me, this is the toughest routine in the Bulk Phase.  But once I actually get started, things are pretty smooth.  The first Super Set wasn't that much different.  I faded a bit on the Pull-Ups, but did all the Rips.  I went up a little bit in weight on the following Progressive Set.  Just 1.25 kgs.  Felt good, but just about hit failure on the reverse progression, but not quite.  As per the notation last time, I went up by 1.25 kgs for the Force Set.  Here too, just about hit Failure, but barely made it.  On the next Single Set, I wanted to go even heavier on the Drop Set, and I tried to go up to 31 kgs, but I couldn't balance my 2 kg dumbbell and it fell off.  So, keeping safety in mind, I stuck with the 30 kgs. for the heavy weight but only went down 2 kgs for the lighter weight.  That was a tough set.  I kept the same weights and what not for the final Super Set.  But I was able to up the Rep Count to 12 reps on the Plank Rotation within the time limit.


The Anabolic stretch was tough, but I got it in.  I wasn't going to do the hang, so the Pullover Hold was the move.  It took a bit to find the actual Back stretch, but it was good once I found it.

I was able to get through the Ab routine today with an average amount of Burning and Moaning.  Those moves are still really tough, and the Activation is a chore.  I wasn't able to make it through all  20 reps of the Iso Bike,  only got to 10 reps.  By the end of this round, I want to get through all 20 reps.

I finished with a good Flow Series. but then remembered the PU/PU Challenge and eventually knocked out the required reps.

In the end, I burned 690 kcal.  A good average burn, but way above average Burn!
