Good solid workout Breezy !Day 5 continued
The intensity remained cranked up for today's workout. I kept the rest periods to around 30 seconds and moved from one exercise right to the next. The weight used was lower once again, but my muscles felt worked to their full potential. It's quite a change of pace from the strength training I've been doing for the last few months and it took a lot out of me.

My arms really started running out of gas towards the end of the routine and the pump intensity was greater than I've experienced in a long time. By the time I finished, I was exhausted, and slightly nauseous for about 20 mins. I'll most likely increase my rest periods within the next few workouts, but I enjoyed the intensity and will definitely go back to this approach in the future.
I had 2 caps of AB Elite with my post workout shake which was tough to get down following my workout.
Something to note from the last few days is an increase in frequency of bowel movements. I always have one first thing in the morning and the last 3 days I've been having another later in the day. I think this could be an indication of improved digestion, but I'm not sure exactly what it means. This has occurred without any changes in my diet.
For me, the amount of rest I have between sets is always dependent in what kind of day I had. I guess for me it's more mental than anything.
