Arms Only today, Starting to Like Meso-Tech
I was a little more limited on time today so I decided on Bi’s and Tri’s only. It was a good workout and my energy levels seemed pretty good. I drank a Rip It energy drink right after I woke up and I was in the gym within that hour. Don’t know if it was that drink or not, but I did feel like I had a little more energy.
For Bi’s I did two progressively heavier sets of barbel curls for warm up, then did 4 sets with heavy weights. I followed that with 4 sets of Alternating DB Curls. Next was 4 sets of e-z bar Preacher curls and I finished Bi’s out with 2 sets of cable curls.
For Triceps, I started right out with flat bench ez bar tricep extensions. I did 4 sets here, but the first was a lighter set. Next up was seated DB tricep press. I actually was surprised at the weight I used on this one. Each set was progressively heavier. 30, 35, then 40 pounds. Next tiem I’m going to starting with 40. After that, I did v-grip cable push downs. After a couple sets of that, I did 3 sets of single arm tricep cable extensions. I finished off my workout with 2 sets of machine assisted dips. I’m pretty confident that I’ll feel it tomorrow but we’ll see.
I figured out the trick for the Meso-Tech drink without a blender. After pouring in the mix and the liquid (water or milk), I shake for about 15 - 20 seconds and then I let it sit for a minute. Then I shake it again for 10 - 15 seconds and let it sit again. After the second or third soaking phase, it breaks down the powder and allows it to mix well. Now I’m starting to like this drink. I usually take 1/2 packet at a time and I’m getting about 4 - 5 of these servings per day. This amounts to about 90 - 110 grams of extra protein on top of the food I eat.Yesterday I had about 155 g protein and the day before I managed about 195.
Not sure at this point on whether I’m working out tomorrow or not. I might be doing cardio in the morning but I haven’t gotten confirmation yet.
