Reading this Chart:

  • Last column is the difference in reps since the last time I did this workout:
    • Green = More Reps or Seconds
    • Red = Less Reps or Seconds
  • Second to last column is the goals I had set for myself.
  • R = Reps
  • S = Seconds
  • NC = No Chair Assist
  • C = Chair Assist
  • RL = Right Leg
  • LL = Left Leg
  • W = Weight

Alright so the –5s that you see there, are not a bad thing, I used 40lbs on dumbbells, I did not use them on all exercises, considering that some I was not able to complete before I did not think 40lbs extra on my legs was going to be a good idea all the time LOL, Also I got tired holding the weights down for so long, so I did it a couple of times on the ones I knew I would be able to handle it. Which was great because I know any little bit extra like that, helps me big time.

For the wall squats if you remember I had cracked the wall LOL. So I was able to use part of the door this time and it was a lot better, and I was able to to do the single leg ones for 20sec for each leg this time, that was awesome.

For the Pull Ups, I had said I was going to switch to the bands, well I tried but it was way to light, I figured I was going to have to add all 3 bands together to get somewhere but then I figured maybe the door would not be able to handle it, considering that I am pulling in a angle and not downward like the pull up bar. So I had no time to experiment, I went back to the pull up bar. What did I do this time? Every time I felt I could not do anymore, mostly exhaustion, I would pull all the way up, remove the leg and slowly go down, try to stop exactly half way as long as I could, then do it again, and finally I started to feel it a bit, I think this is what I will do from now on.

All in all it was pretty good, I felt I brought it and that is what matters.

Reading this chart:

  • Last column is the difference in reps since the last time I did this workout:
    • Green = More Reps than last time
    • Red = Less Reps than last time
  • F = Forward
  • R = Reverse
  • RS = Right Side
  • LS = Left Side

Oh man, they do 339 crunches on this video, and I did 346, I know that I am still low on Leg Climb, and again remember Roll-Up/V-Up I am counting them every 2 as 1, so technically I had already surpassed it but oh well, my bad for wrong counting to start with LOL But I am pretty proud and I feel it so good on my abs, they burn really nicely.

Masson twist, oh YEAH BABY, I was able to complete even the 10 bonus ones, true I was trembling mad and struggling to keep it, but I fought those ten and I fell side ways and I could barely get back up LOL It was awesome. If I keep working it this hard, for sure I’m on my way to loosing this fat on my mid section, YEAH! I am so excited.

Tomorrow I have Kenpo X, and I will be using my new 1lb gloves, so come back and check it out to see how that went.

Thank you for your time:

Mike
