December 6, Thursday, HY: LIIFT 4 - Shoulders + Quad-Challenge + TCF.
I am still working out the system of this program but I think I'm starting to get used to the workout style of the trainer. I actually still like Tony, Chalene, and Shaun the best because they seem more natural in front of the camera, but this trainer, whose name I cannot remember at the moment, still seems a bit artificial on camera, much like Segi and Brett. They just seem like they are trying too hard to be cool for my taste. But their programs are good.
Anyway, back to the workout. Shoulders today, and I was a little wary of the workout because I have had shoulder problems in the recent past that I don't want coming back, so I chose some weights that are a bit lighter than I would normally go if I was at 100%. But again, they felt like they were right on the money get me to burn out by the final set and rep. One thing I really like about this program is the focus on pace. Not to slow, not to fast, but a steady pace that would keep the time-under-tension long and I can also do eccentric work for more gains. I don't do the pace the trainer uses, he uses a 2-0-2 pace, but I like the Tony style, 1-0-3 pace. That eccentric theory has me going for more gains. My shoulders got a good workout, pump and burn.
Biceps were on fire today. If I kept my arms bent for too long a period of time they would start to ache so I would need to straighten them to stretch them. HOW LONG WILL THE PAIN BE REAL!!!!
Finished off with the Quad-Challenge and my Flow series.
In the end, I burned a good 635 kcals. This is the number I was expecting, but it was a good workout.
