Day 49 - Going Hard!!
Today I definitely felt great once I got to the gym... I was a bit tired beause I did not get enough sleep last night but my endurance is getting much stronger and I am able to push even harder and am loving it!
Cardio was really intense today... I started with the elliptical for 7.75 miles on level 8 for 7.75 miles. Next I did an intense circuit. It was an up down and burpee circuit... I did 8 sets of 25 alternating between each... So i did 25 up -downs, then a set of abs, then 25 burpees, abs, etc... for a total of 8 sets... I was definitely feeling it after this circuit but it just really adds shred which I love!
Today was back and triceps and I pushed very hard today...
Superset: Bodymaster high row (5 second negatives): 55x10, 60x10, 60x10, 70x10

Rotary upper back - 250x10, 250x10, 250x10, 250x10
I started off with negatives right off the jump because I wanted to really get a nice warm up on my back and really work it out hard... I set a PR on this lift at 70x10... I felt very strong on my dumbbell overhead tricep extensions and feel like I could do more on it... I was able to get 120x10 today which was very strong...
Next I did a triple set that was very difficult and really burnt my triceps... The single arm dips on the bodymaster machine are tough on their own but supersetting them with the diamond push ups on the medicine ball is very difficult... The vascularity I could see on my arms when doing thees push ups was unreal... I loved it! I also did lower back extensions with these as well... This was a difficult set and really had my tricpes looking nice...
Next I did some rope work on my back... I like to mix up connectors on my back to hit it in different areas... I did rope pulldowns and got up to 220x10... I superset with straight arm rope back pullovers and got up to 90x10... My back was feeling pretty good after these...
Next I finished my triceps off with single arm rope side arm tricep extensions.... These really isoate the triceps and work them nicely... I superset with wide grip back push ups...
I finished strong with the rotary upper back machine... I did max weight of 250 x 10 on this...
I was very pleased with today's workout and am especially pleased with my endurance lately... Since the ultradrol portion ended my endurance has gotten back to where it always was and the water weight I was holding is coming off and I am feeling so much better about everything... My vascularity is amazing and I just want to continue to get stronger and to continue to shred! I am so motivated to make progress each and every day and will stop at nothing to achieve my goals... All feedback appreciated!!
