Day 66 - PCT Day 3
Today I felt great when I woke up... I feel very energized and very light... My body is still a bit sore but otherwise I am feeling really good...
Cardio was great today... I started with a 6 mile at 8.0 mph for 45 minutes... Then I did the stairclimber for 2.25 miles on level 13 for 15 minutes... I finished with the elliptical for 2 miles on level 8 for 15 minutes... I definitely sweat a lot but I was feeling really good after cardio and ready to get at the weights...
Today was shoulders and biceps...
Superset: Standing barbell shoulder press - 145x10, 150x10, 150x10, 155x10
Alternate arm dumbbell side arm hammer curls - 45x10, 50x10, 50x10, 55x10
Dumbbell simotaneous straight arm lateral raise up and in - 25x10, 25x10, 25x10, 25x10
Tripleset: Single arm over the knee dumbbell curl - 70x10, 75x10, 75x10, 80x10
Standing inverted grip bar shoulder press - 100x10, 110x10, 110x10, 110x10
Close grip curls - 105x10, 105x10, 105x10, 105x10
Standing shoulder free weight figure 8's - 45x10, 45x10, 45x10, 45x10
Cable single arm rope curl - 75x10, 75x10, 80x10, 85x10
I started with a superset of standing barbell shoulder presses and alternate arm dumbbell side arm hammer curls... I got up to 155x10 on standing barbell shoulder presses and up to 55 x10 on the curls... These were both very strong and I was very happy with the start of the workout....
Next was a very difficult exercise... Its a standing straight arm lateral raise but once you take your arms up for the lateral raise, then you take them on a line in and then back out and down... These were very difficult and I am definitely going to start incorporating these into my workouts more often...
Next I did a triple set... It started with single arm over the knee dumbbell curls... I got up to 80x10, which was a very nice accomplishment... I alternated that with standing bar inverted grip shoulder presses... These are akward but work the shoulders very nicely... I got up to 110x10... I alternated both of these with close grip curls... I got up to 105x10 on these... Those were very tough but had my biceps feeling great..
Next I did free weight shoulder figure 8's... These are awesome... They are very difficult but they worked my shoulders so nicely... I did these with a 45lb. plate... It can fatigue your shoulders but if you can push through as I did, they are so beneficial...
I finished with single arm cable rope curls... I got up to 85 x10 on these and it was a great finish to my workout...
This was a really great workout... My strength was great throughout as well as my endurance and energy... I feel nice and light but am maintaining my weight... I am definitely cutting up more and that just puts me in such a better mind set... I am very happy with how things are going and will do everything I can to ensure that continuous progress is being made... I am pushing harder and harder everyday... All feedback appreciated!!
