Day 50 - Shredding up!
Today I felt extremely refreshed and full of energy. I also feel very light because of the loss of the extra water I was holding on to... This is putting me in a much better state of mind and really helping me in my overall state of mind... It is very motivating to me!
Today's cardio was great. I started with a 60 minute circuit of running and sprints... Its run 5 minutes on 8.5 mph then turn it up to 12.0 mph and do 5 sprints with 30 second rest in between then back to run then sprints... This is all done for 60 minutes and towards the end, is especially tough! I finished with the elliptical for 15 minutes on level 8 for 2 miles...
Today was chest and biceps and was a very strong workout for me...
Superset: Dumbbell incline - 100 x10, 105x10, 105x10, 110x10
Standing dumbbell alternate arm curl - 60 x10, 65x10, 65x10, 70x10
Superset: Dumbbell incline flies (5 second negatives) - 60x10, 60x10, 65x10, 70x10
Incline curl bar curl - 90x10, 100x10, 100x10, 100x10
Dumbbell arnold bench press - 90x10, 90x10, 90x10, 95x10
Superset: Inverted grip bicep pull downs - 210x10, 220x10, 220x10, 230x10
Bodymaster vertical pec machine - 120x10, 120x10, 120x10, 130x10
TRX band bicep pull ups - 15, 15, 15, 15 30 second rests
I started off very strong with dumbbell inclines superset with alternate arm bicep curls. I was able to hit my PR weight from the previous week of 110x10 on incline dumbbells and I set a new PR for standing alternate arm curls at 70x10...
Next I did dumbbell incline flies with 5 second negatives superset with incline curl bar curls... I really worked my chest hard and got up to 70x10 on the negatives... That's huge weight for negatives on flies... The inclines curls with the curl bar really worked my biceps nicely and I was able to get to 100x10...
I hit a PR on my next exercise with was dumbbell arnold bench press... I got up to 95x10 which I felt was extra impressive considering what I had already put my chest through on the previous exercises...
Next I superset inverted bicep pull downs and the vertical pec machine. I got up to 230 x 10 on the inverted pull downs, which was very high weight and got up to 130 on the vertical pec machine which was a great finish to the chest portion of the workout...
I finished very strong with the TRX band bicep pull ups... These were very tough to finish the workout with, especially with only 30 second rest in between sets... It was a great finish to a very strong workout...
I am so pleased with today's workout and my progress... I am at 202 lbs. right now and the extra water weight is coming off and the new muscle I have built is really starting to shred up nicely... The vascularity is beyond amazing and my strength is still great... I am very happy with the progress and it just makes me want to go harder and harder to achieve more! All feedback appreciated!!
