Today was back, traps, and biceps.

Today was not a day for the weak at heart. I did over 30 sets today but I did it in the same amount of time I normally do 18-20sets. I am still working on the combination of 2 seconds up/down while squeezing the target muscle. This is tougher than it sounds. The toughest part is the sets that are for 15-20 reps. Doing that many reps that slow really burns. By the time I got to biceps I was exhausted but very pumped. Hitting Chest and triceps tomorrow.

How you sleeping? Sometimes while adjusting to high volume people start to experience insomnia. I certainly do.

Yup, I also have problems sleeping when I am on a high volume workout or on a carb restricted diet.

 

[Rebecca D]

I'm falling asleep fine, I've been exhausted, but I've been waking up around 5 or 5:30 and can't get back to sleep. (Normally I get up at 6:30.

Great by the time you get to arm muscles on either day they are suppose to be "safely toasted" lol

You will NEVER get tendinitis or a pulled muscle in this sequence, also you will notice cardio needs are less, and you should be incurring a acute diuretic effect as the workoust near end.

the only thing I would like to share is that on the first 2 sets, dont "go for it" ,
yes get a burn, but not failure of any kind.

Rebecca the diet and basic supp tools your using will kick in fully around week 2. and will help ALOT with the ability to rise to this new level.

Thanks for the tip. I think I've been going too hard on the first two sets because I am struggling on the last two sets. I think I need to humble myself a little more and lower the weight again.

I did the chest/shoulders/triceps today and felt like I had better control of the weight. It was tough to finish my triceps by the end of the workout. I did change the workout a little. I don't do "female" pushups, I do pushups. (Just having fun with you)

Good solid workout today, don't think I had as much intensity today but you can't bring your A game everyday.

hay! I do female Pushups

I even seen Jay Cutler do them too!1!

on a side; note women in general have much better intuition in the gym

the fact you said "you can't bring your A game everyday." is a huge plus!

on those days it VERY wise to ease back... your body gains more from this awareness then it loses.

While I'm sure we'd like to own that ability, it's really a function of socialization. Women are permitted to rationally recognize their physical limits. "Real men" aren't.
