Normally Thursday is a Morning workout, but it turned into an early afternoon workout because again since I'm on vacation, I can come home a little early. So, once I got home and relaxed a little, I got right to my workout. I couldn't procrastinate till the evening like I am prone to do because I still had my night class later in the evening.
I like this routine because it is predictable. I know what is coming and I know that if the pain is to be had, it is up to me as to how much pain I can subject myself to. As far as weight is concerned, I decided to stick close to what the limits have been and up when I can. Check out the worksheet below. There was no change in the first half of the routine. But there are some moves that I think I will go up next time on. Namely, Standing Curl, Wide EZ Bar Curl, and Skull Crusher. But I still got a good pump and burn from these moves today. The Progressive Sets are a whole different story. I still feel like I'm right at the limit with these weights. So I may need to push a little next time. Get out of the comfort zone. I'm confident with the ascending, but the descending is what scares me. 12 and 15 reps is a lot of reps when you are burned out. On the Weighted Crunch, I was just about at failure with the 10kgs. But this time I had the weight behind my head. The positioning of the weight makes a huge difference. The burn was long and hot.
The Anabolic Stretch for bis and tris was good, but there is a huge difference in the stretch between 2kgs and 3kgs. I can take the 2kg stretch, but it hurts too much on the joints with the 3kgs. I need a .5kg weight until I can take the 3kgs.
Cardio Abs is still a tough one. I can't get through any of the progressions without a mid-set break. The burn just gets too intense. Hopefully, I can conquer it by the final workout of this round.
In the end, I burned 578 kcals. I'm looking forward to the soreness tomorrow. But I must say that the Anabolic Stretch has helped.
