Sorry for not posting the past few days, life and work have gotten in the way and after working out I just wanted to go to bed. So let me recap the past few days for all of you who are reading this. By the way thank for all the views! Was surprised to see how many people are actually reading this. Alrighty, back to making up for those lost days....
Day 3:
It was a rest day, all I had to do was cardio for 20mins twice a day. My legs where sore but I knocked it out pretty easily.
Day 4:
This day was all about back and triceps. It was defiantly a great workout and I have never really worked my back like that before. Good news was my legs where not sore at all that day! I also felt a lot of the workout in the triceps and did all the exercises to failure, but I feel like I could have put more weight up. LIGHT WEIGHT
Day 5:
Abs, shoulders, and calves oh my! This day was very interesting to say the least. I worked out each head of my shoulders (front, mid, back) which was pretty epic to say the lease. I also did a little bit of bicep to make sure they are not forgotten. This workout routine is interesting int the sense that for my abs all I had to do was a super set (two exercises back to back with no breaks.) It consisted of me doing seated calf raises and then going directly into sit-ups. I felt the burn doing that but it was not normally what I would expect during a ab workout. I later found out that abs will be introduced to the workout plan later on with combination of squats and other exercises. Also, just want to mention that this workout out I changed up and actually did in the morning cause I had to go to work. I actually really enjoyed the morning workout and it put me in a good mood, only problem was waking up.
Day 6:
This was another rest day, I did my cardio and could feel my back "swollen" with muscle.
Day 7:
This is actually today. It consisted of round two of leg exercises. I had to do 2 different super sets and then 150.....yes that is right 150 reps of leg press (50reps, 3 sets.) When I first saw I was doing this I was like fffffuuuuuuuuu, but Im proud to say I say I did it and with a decent amount of weight (175lbs)! Also, I did some cardio in the morning and then after workout as a cool down. I will mention that going to the gym at 5pm was bad idea, it was freaking packed wall to wall with people who had just gotten off of work and what not. I think I will stick with my late night or super early workouts, hated having to put my routines on hold because some guy couldn't figure out if he was done or not with the leg press machine.
All in all I am feeling pretty awesome. I do feel a little bit thinner and defiantly feel a lot stronger. My overall happiness level has increased as well, where most days I would just be melancholy I am now pretty up beat and excited. Tomorrow is a weigh in day to see how much weight I have lost since my first entry, I understand its not going to be earth shattering but its all going to come together in the end.
