Day 66 – Back & Biceps + Ab Ripper X

WOOHOO Week 10 day 3 down, oh yeah! I worked out around 2:15pm today. This is a workout where I wish I had heavier weights to do less reps and grow more muscle, but for now I will continue to look at it as weight loss. I also added my resistance bands together, I took my heavy one and added it to the medium one, and guess what, still not enough LMAO! damn those things where cheap, their good for a starting point, but now I need some really heavy ones instead LOL.

So lets see how I did today

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
  • Second to Last Column = Set Goals
  • NC = No Chair
  • C = Chair Assisted
  • RA = Right Arm
  • LA = Left Arm
  • R = Rep
  • W = Weight
    • H = Heavy Resistance Band
    • H+ M+=Heavy + Medium Resistance Band + a Loop

OK so again no chair on the pull ups, using a slight small jump to pull myself up and hang as much as I can, however I managed to do 1.5 real ones YAY!! but still I have no idea why I am having such a hard time on something I use to do before (15yrs ago LOL), but hey I keep trying, but at least my back was sore, so I am doing something right, WOOHOO.

The 20lbs are good for some routines but not for others. However I still did my best and tried to feel the burn as much as possible and my biceps were nice and pumped by the end so again I managed to work them out good.

At the end I added the Heavy + Medium Resistance Band + using a loop, this seemed to feel better, and I managed to pump 14 reps for each of the last 3, it felt good.

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

This workout is still fantastic even though I have not increased the number of reps. I am still working on form, which is fantastic because it makes me feel it more.

The hip rock n raise and the pulse ups, I did not think I could get my hip higher then I did last time but I did LOL, and no inertia from the legs used, I so felt the burn in my abs.

The Oblique V ups I am trying to make contact with my elbow and knees but it has not happened yet.

Mason twist I fell out on rep 55 and I had to get back up and finish to 60, then I again did elbow plank and held it for about 1min to finish feeling the burn.

I have been considering doing Ab Ripper X twice the days I have it scheduled, once in the morning and once after my workout, but I will consider it depending on the time, right now I am teaching at 8am so it’s a bit tough, but at the same time I really want to get rid of the left over fat, or I could try to repeat the routine right after I am done, hmmm I will think of something for sure, but I want to get the most of the 3.5 weeks I have left, oh yeah that’s all I have left for 90 days WOOHOO!!

Tomorrow I have Yoga X.

Thank you for your time:

Mike
