Day 59 - Feeling strong!
Today I felt good in terms of energy but the past few days I have had some sore joints again... I started to take forged joint repair a few days ago and it is helping but when adding the skeletal balm, I noticed a big difference... Hopefully it will subside in the next few days... Its basically in my right elbow, which is where I normally get it... The skeletal balm helps tremendously though...
Cardio was very strong today... I started with the stairclimber for 7.25 miles on level 13 for 50 minutes... Then I went to the treadmill for sprints... I did 10 sprints on 12.0 mph for 30 seconds apiece with a 30 second rest in between each sprint... Then I went to the elliptical for 2 miles on level 8 for 15 minutes...
Today was back and triceps and today was a great workout... I actually felt like I was getting more energy and stronger as the workout went on today... It was a really great feeling... I actually remember stopping for a second and thinking to myself "what the fck, im feeling more energized and stronger as i go" I LOVE that feeling!!

I started off really working my back hard... single arm cable rows are tough because this is the cable area with all the tension on the cable... i got up to 110x10 on this and I superset with standing dumbbell simotaneous back extensions... I set a PR on this at 90x10...
Next I did free weight dips... I load three 45 plates on my legs and set up a two benches to do these dips on... I got up to 25 reps with 135 lbs. on my legs on this... My triceps look crazy on these... I superset with overhead medicine ball power throws...
Next I did single arm inverted grip rotary lat pulldowns... the machine only goes to 250 so i added 55lbs. extra to get to 305 x10 on these... i superset with diamond grip tricep pushups on the medicine ball... I added 5 to each set from what i normally do and did sets of 30...
Next I did the bodymaster overhead tricep extension and got up to 190x10... I superset this with lower back extensions with a 45lb. plate...
Next I did simotaneous cable lat pulldowns while seated on the ground... I got up to 170x10 on these...
I finished with cable rope tricep extension (5 second negatives) I did all 4 sets at 150x10...
This was a great workout for me today... I felt very strong and full of energy and was getting stronger as the workout progressed... I felt nice and lean and shredded and am definitely making good progress... I will just continue to work harder and harder each and every day! All feedback appreciated!!
