Day 13 - Dylan Gemelli vs. The Fever
So today just did not start off good at all... I woke up with a fever and my body was just aching all over... I felt like shit... I should have probably stayed home but I just don't miss days... That's not in my nature and I wasn't about to let this stop me today...
I truly can't believe I was able to do what I did today... My cardio was tough but I did it... I did 1 hour on the elliptical for 8 miles on level 8... Then I moved on the my circuit sets... I did 4 sets of these... 25 up downs each set (100 total), 100 plank position sprints (400 total) 35 scissor jumps (140 total) and 30 butt kick jumps (120 total) then I finished with a set of 25 burpees... I killed it today on it but I was definitely hurting all over afterwards...
Today was back and triceps and I was feeling sore all over and fatigued... I was bound and determined to push through it though... I started with inverted grip iso lateral hammer strength pulldowns... I started at 250 x 10, which was my previous PR and did all four sets at this weight... I superset them with pull ups... 3 sets of 10...
Then I moved on to a superset of t-bar tricep pushdowns on the side cables with all the tension and overhead dumbbell tricep extensions... I started at 110 x 10 the first two sets on the push downs, which is my PR and finished at 120 x 10 the last two sets which is a new PR... I did all four sets of overhead extensions at 110 x 10...
Next I moved on to seated dumbbell bent over back extensions and a terribly difficult lift... On this back row, I take two dumbbells and place them on the ground... I get in a pushup position and alternate each dumbbell on rows, back and forth... It is very tough and takes a lot of wind out of you...
I started the back extensions at 70 x 10 the first two sets and finished at 75 x 10... I did all of the push up back rows at 55 x 10... These were very difficult... I still managed to get them all...
Next I did lay down curl bar overhead tricep extensions... I did all four sets at 110 x 10 and just shredded my triceps... I superset this with lower back extensions with a 45 lb. plate...
Next I did single arm cable inverted grip tricep extensions... I did all four sets at 80 x 10...
I finished with standing lat pulldowns... I like these because they seem to hit your back harder than normal seated pulldowns... I started at 170 x 10 and did 180 the next two sets and finished at 190 x 10...
This workout took so much out of me because I was definitely sick... In fact, I went to work and had to leave because I was not feeling good but I never quit, no matter what... I showed that today... I take no days off... I always believe there are gains to be made and I will do whatever it takes to get them...
I can't wait to get the anavar and proviron started... Its looking like wednesday or thursday... I am loving the results so far and will continue to push harder and harder...
I have a few pics from today as well... One is a calf pic... I have had people accuse me in the past of having small legs because i never show pics of them... I think this will answer some of those ridiculous accusations... =) Also a body pic that will show the mass I have added... All feedback is appreciated...
