Since my school has entered summer vacation I was able to get home a little earlier today, which allowed me to start my workout earlier than usual. I was also a lot less tired than usual so I was feeling ready to go.
Since I made a few adjustments to my weights last time, it was my intention to keep the weights pretty close to the same and see if I was ready to increase them for next time. But since I was feeling good, I raised the weights on the first move right off. Even the heavy weight was good in that I was able to feel my Lats and Back activate. I just had to raise and lower the weight slowly and allow myself to find the right flex activation. Also, I was finally able to get to 10 reps on all three sets of Pull-Ups. That is thanks to me doing the PU/PU Challenge this last month. Although, I must admit that I wasn't all that faithful to it. But I'll keep a regular schedule of PU/PU in August to keep up that strength. The Progressive set was fine, but the Force Set was easy in the last set, so for the next run, I'll up the weight to 14.5kgs. The Deadlift was the same, but on the Heavy end of the Drop Set, I dropped the 4kg Dumbbell and had to stop to reset it. I had to be very careful and deliberate in the move and that was tough. Finally, the Super Set was good. Today is the best I've felt on the heavier Reverse Fly. Usually, my form sort of goes south, but today, I was able to keep good form till the end. But it was a struggle.
The Anabolic Stretch was good and tough. I started off with 3kgs in each hand, but on the last two sets, I had to drop to 2kgs. I wasn't able to control the hold and it was getting too painful near the end of the minute. But my Lats got a good stretch while loaded.
I was rather apprehensive to do Cardio Abs because I was wasted, but once I got started, I was okay. But those static moving holds are brutal. I still can't hold out the entire time on each grouping. I've got three more tries before I move on. Got to Crush It!
Topped everything off with a good Flow Series.
In the end, I burned a good 794 kcals. A little more than the usual count. Probably due to Cardio Abs. Getting a little boost burn at the end.
