Bottle went BOTTOMS UP today...

Sorry I was not on long enough to update yesterday, dealing with home owners insurance stuff. Adjuster was at the house for hours. I had a killer workout but came to a realization. I am definitely going to need to use my listing straps, I can not maintain grip through a full workout after only 2 days, my forearms are still a little shot from the last one so I found myself having to stop for a second shake my arms out and regrip and go. I will just strap up so I don't end up taking mini breaks trying to get enough grip to complete the work. Especially with next week being 40% I know it will be hard to maintain.
So once again a reminder of the program, no rest other than grabbing weights or changing from one exercise to the next. This is one giant set that includes 3 rotations of the following Dumbbell exercises in order & 20 reps each.
Dead lifts 30 , Incline Bench 30, Step Ups 30, Bent over DB Rows 25, Romanian DL 25, Military Press DL 25 Lunges 25, Side Rows 17.7Bench Dips 17.5 = repeat 3 times
This battle was EPIC, still not completely recovered from the previous bout this one was just a battle from beginning to end. I was surprised to feel that the 30s felt a little heavy at the end of the first set of incline bench, I was like wait a minute, already? This workout is already harder than the first one due to having both step ups and lunges incorporated. Add to that I was noticing my muscle were still barely on the cusp of being sore. I pushed and clawed my way through this workout. Having to stop for a second to stretch the forearms and regrip probably 3 times during sets, and then a 3-5 second pause to do so between each exercise. Man, I was pumped up and feeling huge which didn't help my grip any either. Man I will say that 30 minutes of holding weight in your hands with no breaks is ridiculous on the forearms. I was huffing and puffing again like a steam train. This workout makes you question your resolve for a moment or two while getting through it. It is the difficulty that can also make me passionate about it.
Cardio, 4-6 scoops Anadraulic Pump, Elliptical with upper body 520 cals, well I was able to increase calories by going to the elliptical machine. I also did some intervals on it and I had a whole body pump when I got off of the machine. Pretty nice from interval training…. Reason I am guessing on the on the scoops is that I started digging it out and at 3 scoops there wasn't much left in the bottom so I went bottoms up into the cup. :alcoholic: :alcoholic: :alcoholic: Dumped the rest right and and swigged it down.
I will put my full review up here sometime today or this weekend.
