So it would seem I forgot to post yesterday... Well, not so much 'forgot' as 'put-off-until-it-was-2am-then-fell-asleep'... I'll try to not let that happen again.
Let's start with yesterday's update: Ploymetrics. Plyo, plyo, plyo! I ever mention how much I love this routine? Seriously, I could do it every day if it wasn't for the fact that it literally does NOTHING for my upper body. I would like to report that it would appear that my stamina is returning. I've been able to finish the routine without fail, but yesterday I wasn't completely exhausted when I finished! I have a feeling that I'm going to be back in my post second-round condition by the end of the first month! I'm stoked!
As for today, I decided that, rather than kill what scant few hours I have in the evening doing my primary (today's being Shoulders and Arms), I would do my primary in the morning when I have a bit more free time. Yeah, that worked out great until work called. Over and over again... Forcing me to pause longer than I really wanted to until I was out of time. Friends, I didn't even get to finish the routine. I made it through four of the five sets before I was forced to stop to leave for the office.
I had contemplated a redo this evening, but my Beachbody coach, Vicki, said that, since I did the majority of the routine already, I should just do the Ab Ripper and give my arms a chance to recover. It makes sense, but I still feel like I only half did the job. But I'm not going to dwell on it. I'm going to do my Ab Ripper, eat something healthy (as opposed to the pizza I had for lunch), and get to bed at a reasonable time tonight. (2am is NOT a reasonable time...)
Oh, I found a new technique for doing the Crouching Cohen Curls. See, I have two adjustable barbells and, when I'm doing the curls, I can't get the angle right and they keep clunking into each other. It makes my overall workout kinda sloppy. What I do now is I load ONE bar with the weight I would be doing on both arms (presently 20lbs per arm, so 40 on one bar) and grip the edges of it to curl. MUCH cleaner sets. I just wonder if doing it this way makes it a different exercise...
