 Today was my second to last workout in my current 12 week H.I.T. cycle. I was actually disappointed in the workout and feel that I really need that rest that is coming soon. I can only tell you that I felt extremely sick to my stomach doing this workout. Part of it was because of the intensity and part of it was because I felt tired. My body was tired and for sure it was just temporary. I can tell the difference between being overtrained and just having a bad day and today was just a bad day. Mentally I just wan't that into the workout. I managed to crank through the entire workout, but it wasn't pretty towards the end. I now have one more workout to go. This Friday will be the final workout in this current H.I.T. cycle. I will then get a week off and start my new program. Another milestone is looming. I will be at 400 straight days of blogging in a very short 3 days from now. It seems like such a long time but at the same time, it flew by. I am excited to see where life takes me in the next few months. I have my plans in place and now I have to work them. That is going to determine what happens. |

Intensity! That's all there is to it. If anyone had told me that I'd be lifting 220 lbs. with the thigh extension machine I'd have laughed and here I am doing it for 10 reps. Calf raises at 820 lbs! Squats for 255 lbs. x 12 reps! I'm benching 175 lbs. for 8 reps right now. That one shocks me. Bench has always been my weakest exercise and even that is coming along wonderfully. Deads felt awesome today! I even got a compliment from a powerlifter at the gym who said I should get involved in powerlifting. I laughed it off, but it felt good to have someone recognize the work I've been doing. I felt much better than the last workout I did. I had tons of energy. |
