Tuesday
This morning was a change of pace for me. I like to do 2 workouts a day, if I can. Today I got up, took my Lipo-6 and rushed to the gym to get in some pre-breakfast cardio, in the hopes of burning a bit more fat. I usually sit on an elliptical for about 20 minutes before my stomach starts to growl and I start getting irrate. I like to eat, afterall. Today, though, I managed to get through 30 min., I had shot for 45 min., but I got bored. Then I went into the weight room to stretch my warm muscles, when the strangest thing happened. I felt PUMPED. I mean nothing could stop me. I went right into a grueling bicep workout, filled with hammer curls, cable curls, negative resistance curls, and preacher curls. I practiced kneeling on a stability ball, then tried to stand on the ball. I did weighted hanging leg raises, weighted crunches on the ball, and oblique crunches-weighted (never would have guessed would ya?) Then I managed to get home and down protein before my body got pissed and started burning muscle. It felt great. Yesterday I went in and tried to work, but think I had overdone the caffeine and my stomach was a wreck….could also have been the marshmallows I ate at a bonfire the night before. So onward and upward, glad to have gotten it all in. I have to make sure I work super hard these days, I forsee a lot of cheating happening Memorial day weekend, so I need to make it worth it. Its all in the interest of pre-emptive punishment. I think I will still be able to get in plenty of cardio and calisthenics, but weight lifting will be put on hold. So, have a great day all!

I am at one with your blog. Being on the road, I too was expecting a p-poor workout, but because of an iron-god intervention, my resultant workout was of epic proportion. My blog from today speaks further on the inhumane brutality that was unleashed on my chest tonight!
Be the Burn!
