Day 31 - Double Day

Double Day?

Well, in order to account for tomorrow being ANZAC day, Lest We Forget, I decided to blend two days' worth of gym workouts into one! Crazy - No I'm just really enjoying my training!

After falling asleep last night around 2230h I woke with an insanely large amount of energy. Not needing my early pre-workout, or my lemon water I headed to the gym. I gave myself a great workout, really getting into it I was almost late for class!

First Milestone is My Honeymoon - I'll train hard for that....

Super Shoulders!

As each day of my regimen gets easier, I find myself pushing harder and harder. Today, I really got into my shoulder workout like never before! I squeezed more exercises, more reps and more variations into it.

I felt so much energy this morning - I guess the power of a good night's sleep?

Big Arms :)

After a shortish day in class, and some private study I found myself in the gym for the second time. This time to push through an arms workout. I researched a few new arm exercises, and focussed on muscle groups - Biceps, then Triceps then whole arm.

I added sets of Zuttman Dumbbell Curls, Barbell Drag Curls,  Twisted Wrist Curls, Prone Incline Curls, and Inclined Squat Curls to my bicep workout. I upped the ante with my tricep cable dips (maxing out at 42kg! - a new PB), narrow tricep dips.

I then threw in some core strengtheners to work my arms - Farmer's walks with heavy dumbbells, Standing Lift Holds, and Farmer's Oblique squeezes.

Finally to blow out and burn my arms into oblivion.... I did a multi-step med-ball routine - 3 minutes, I lasted - repeating in sequence with a 4kg ball:
1 - bicep curl
2 - chest press
3 - shoulder press
4 - behind the head tricep dip
5 - lower to chest
6 - chest press
7 - bicep curl
and on and on and on...

My body is officially having a rest day tomorrow!

I'll go for Sore?
