Day 55 - Getting my shred on!
Today I felt great again when I got up... I was a bit sore but I took a little forged joint repair and it definitely did the trick... Otherwise I was definitely feeling good!
Cardio was excellent today... I started with the elliptical for 60 minutes on level 8 for 7.75 miles... Then I did an up down and burpee circuit... 8 total sets, 4 of each at 25 each set... These really help to get that extra shred going... They are very difficult but they are very much worth the effort...
Today was back and triceps and was definitely a very successful workout...

I started off with wide grip lat pulldowns... i got up to 230 x10 which was very nice and got my back warmed up well... I superset with single arm straight arm cable back pull overs... I really worked my back hard on these and got up to 85x10...
Next I tried something new with straight arm cable back twists... These really worked my back well and I was able to consistently increase weight throughout this set... I superset with back extensions with a 45lb. plate...
My next superset was very tough on my triceps... I started with rope overhead tricep extensions but I had the rope on the bottom so it increased the resistance a lot... Max weight on the cable is 150 and I was able to get up to 160x10... I superset with inverted tricep extensions and was able to get up to 175x10... I had to add weight on the cable for both of these exercises...
Next superset was close grip bench and overhead medicine ball power throws... I did 225 x10 on all four sets and that was very impressive to me especially considering I was doing this towards the end of my workout... I also did my sets of powerball throws for 25 each...
Next I did regular hanging dips... My triceps were really burning at this point but I did all four sets for 25...
I finished with the dorsi flexor back extension machine... I did all four sets on max weight of 330x10...
I was very happy with this workout... My energy level was very high and my strength was great... I really am pushing hard and doing everything I can to make improvements each workout... I felt very light today and am feeling more and more shredded everyday... I want to keep this momentum going stronger each and everyday... I am so determined to get as shredded as possible but still hold on to my size... Its going very good right now and I will do everything I can to improve everyday! All feedback appreciated!!
