[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]So today I started off a little sluggish again as I overslept once again this morning... I never really updated over the weekend but here's why i am so tired.... I had to close the store Friday night and open the fucking store Saturday... So I didn't get to bed until nearly 11:30 and had to wake up at 3:30 to get to the gym before work... I took so many pre workouts and stims that I was feeling sick half the day... I fucking killed the workout though! Needless to say, I am playing catch up on my sleep...
So cardio wasn't too bad today... I noticed a lot of extra sweating today but somedays are just like that... I was definiteliy happy to be done with cardio though today and ready to hit the weights hard...
Today was back and biceps which is just a bitch of a workout... This is the hardest combination (at leat for me) of body parts to work together... You are using so much arm strength in both of these workouts that it just wears you down... However, you know how I do it and when I get tired I just push harder... I started off with a little bit of an inverted set of seated dumbell curls but I would actually call it a side hammer curl... The curl motion is odd and totally different but it shapes the fuck out of your arms like crazy... It was tough and I was as vascular as I have ever seen on this one... I did 40 x 10's on this and it took everything in me to do them but I felt like I got so much out of it... Then I hit seated back rows with 65 x 10 dumbells... Then I went for a pr on the bodymaster low row machine... my previous pr was 135 x 10 which is tough... 3 plates on the machine, but I nailed 140 x 10 today... Then I did simotaneous dumbell curls with a completely full extension at 40 x 10... Those were tough but really great for shaping my biceps... The next grouping was really hard... It took a lot out of me... i did inverted pull downs for my biceps and then wide pull downs for my back... 220 x 10's on the bicep pulls and 210 x 10 on the lat pulldowns... I wa feeling spent after this but I knew I had two more exercises to go... I went after them hard because I was tired and wanted to prove to myself that I could push through it... I went straight for a PR on my simotaneous cable curls... 95 x 10 was my previous pr so I did all 4 fucking sets at 100 x 10 today... I did this while I was worn down... So that took me to wide grip back extensions... I did my first three sets at 180 x 10... Then I decided to go for 190 x 10 which was a pr for me... To set a PR on your last set of the day after an excruciating 3 hour workout is a big deal to me and I wanted to prove I could do it and you know I pulled it off... I was feeling absolutely great after that! I have some new pics that I feel show tremendous progress... All feedback is wanted and appreciated!
