A-4-Delts and Biceps (2)

Tonight's workout

I performed my steady state cardio (2 of 3) right after my workout again for this week.

2nd round of this cycle is complete and I'm feeling tighter and tighter. Stronger even.

Progressively went heavier with the high incline presses...finishing at 90 lbs. for 8 reps. Intense.

Side lateral up/downs provided the craziest burn as expected. And finally, I went heavier with shrugs.

Great workout.

Yesterday's workout

I'm not really doing well in my efforts to do cardio first thing in the morning-as much as I'd like to-no matter, I'm getting it in but after workouts. Like today.

Weight and amount of reps. for all the exercises remain the same except for a few like the standing leg curls as I progressively went heavier with each set and the rope pulldown as I opted to go a lighter so as to control the weight better and establish a better mind-muscle connection.

Yesterday morning's workout

I did my 2nd of 2 scheduled interval sessions earlier today. I feel good. I'm all but healed, I feel and no longer feel ill. (knock on wood)

Leading off with flat dumbbell presses is my favorite, however, I fell one rep shy of my target rep range for my last set @ 110 lbs. I was only able to muster 5 reps.

For the supersets, I went heavier with the first exercise but I progressively got less and less reps with each round of supersets. My chest was truly on fire.

Great workout!

2nd round of the A-Cycle begins!

This mornings' workout. I did intervals yesterday and I'm looking to get my second session in this Sunday. It was brutal considering I haven't done them in a few weeks. Much needed.

I split my cardio and weight training today as I lifted in the morning and returned to the gym in the evening to do my 3rd and final steady state cardio session for the week. I'm not a fan of doing cardio right after a leg workout.

The workout, in itself was satisfactory. I feel I can push it further and further week to week. Unfortunately, I still can't perform single leg calf raises so it was the calf extension machine again!

Chest tomorrow morning! (hopefully)

Tonight's workout

I performed my steady state cardio (2 of 3) right after my workout. I haven't been successful in waking up first thing in the morning to do it. As much as I want to.

I was happy with today's workout and I'm getting a better idea of where I'm at strength-wise. The first round of this cycle is complete and I think I know where I can push it with certain lifts for each day.

I feel I can go heavier with the high incline presses next time and maybe, the shrugs.

The bicep superset to cap off the workout had my biceps on fire.

Feeling good so far. I think I'll take a stab at intervals tomorrow on my day off from weights. (after 4 consecutive days) And pick up with Legs on Friday. Hopefully, I'll get another interval session in before or by Sunday.

Last night's workout

Pretty intense workout. It's been a long time since I did dumbbell rows so I was pretty stoked to do them again.

I substituted dumbbell leg curls with standing leg curls as I can never really find anyone in a timely manner to place a dumbbell between my feet. Finally, I wrapped things up with seated leg curls as opposed to do lying leg curls.

This past Monday's workout.

I performed steady state cardio (1 of 3) after my workout.

So far, so good. I've added a little more weight workout to workout and moving more closer to where I was pre-injury. While I didn't press as much weight as I'm used to, I definitely had a better feel for each movement throughout.

The superset portion of this workout was intense of which I have a question for which I'll e-mail about momentarily. I really like it.

I can feel things coming back together at this point and as I mentioned in previous updates, I'm having trouble with calf raises so I substituted calf singles for standing calf raises although they were partial.

Great workout overall....right before the STRESS of watching the Giant game shortly thereafter.

Tonight's workout

I had plans to split my weight training and intervals between the morning and evening, however, while my right foot hasn't gotten worse, I do not feel that it's ready for high intensity intervals. I'm bummed about it but, I, instead performed my third and final steady state cardio session for the week after this workout.

At this point, my entire body's sore and I totally felt it in my upper chest as I kicked up the dumbbells for the presses. No matter. Again, it was no less intense. I feel things slowly getting back together. I hope to be 100% by next week so I can do intervals, for sure.

Tonight's workout

I did my steady state cardio after my workout tonight.

As per the previous two workouts this week, I went lighter. Today I was definitely feeling the effects of the past two workouts as I was sore all over.

Like I said earlier, it may have been a week off but I feel like I would if I had taken more than two weeks off. At any rate, I'm feeling better and better and no ill effects from the foot anymore. Some soreness but not as much as last week.

Yesterdays' workout.

I performed steady state cardio first thing in the morning and used Strike for the first time! I liked it alot. It helped wake me up, for sure. Within 15 minutes, I felt a warmth within me, good clean, jittery-free energy, and sharp mental clarity which is sometimes lacking...at 5:30 AM.

I, again, went lighter throughout and was taken aback at how much of a dip in strength I've felt with only a week off. I felt like I would if I took a month off! The body's cruel! j/k

So far, so good. I went a little lighter all around throughout and was challenging regardless. I definitely felt the week off.

I could not get a full range of motion with the calf raises so they were really..."half raises"

C-1-Quads and Calves (3)

First workout of the year. First workout in 4 days.

For me, I needed rest considering I've been feeling sick. Partly due to the sudden drop in temperatures from New Years Eve to now and partly due to poor nutritional choices.

At any case, 4 days felt like an eternity for me and I wasn't going to let the days away from working out snowball into something worse. I've been there, done that.

Numbers for each exercise remain the same. Overall, I felt good to get back into it.
