Decent workout. Strength was not great during pressing sets. Possibly due to lack of sleep, or yesterday's Total Body Ten workout. I'll keep numbers the same next week and see if things are different.

Also, here are a couple of backdated post:

The gym was super busy so I had to sub v-squats for BB squats. I'm in favor of more people trying to live healthy and exercise, but crowded gyms are the worst! Seems like the New Years crowd is hitting early this year, and they seem to be more clueless than ever. I saw a guy doing some hybrid db concentration curl w/ an ab crunch. I'd love to be his chiropractor, his neck and back are going to be screwed!

Todays workout was OK. I did TT for Meatheads D. Have to really watch it here b/c this is the workout that has the potential to hurt the most. My wrist was really sensitive after meeting with the doctor. The new doc was much more thorough than the first.

Happy New Year M2P! May you kick a** with every workout!
ReplyDeleteConcentration Curl/Ab Crunch? Creativity + Stupidity= a really dumb exercise
I was running into a conflict between the light day workouts and the Resistance/HIIT days as well. I found myself modifying the light days just so I didn't mess up the main course. In December I hit one of CB's Fat Loss workouts for 3+ weeks and did some brutal Nutbag workouts on the 3 light days. Definitely kicked my butt and sapped a lot of energy. Gotta stay focused on the Resistance stuff and know limitations for the lighter days.
