My chest workout on Saturday was awesome; still feeling it this morning (it’s Monday morning here). I went in to work out Back today. It was a great workout. Along with my regular back workout, I included some lower back specific work today and it feels great. I figure making my lower back stronger might help with my bad posture.

After my back was done I worked my biceps real good today. I supersetted ez-bar curls with hammer curls. Oh the burn that gave me! After a few sets of that, I did three sets of concentration curls for about 7 to 8 reps each. The kicker was the way I did the last set. By this time, my weight was 20 Lb. dumbells. I grabbed a 20, 15 and a 10. I set the 15 and 10 at my feet and did 6 reps with 20, swapped it out for the 15, forged mysel to do 6, grabbed the 10, forced myself to do 6, then with no weight, did 6 empty handed curls to flex. I finished off each arm with that set and it was awesome. My arms were burning so good. I figured it’s time I shock my arms with a little unexpected torture. We’ll see how well it works come tomorrow morning.

That’s the way I tend to do each workout. I never walk into the gym set to do a specific regimine. I go in open minded and do what I think is best for that workout on that day. I usually keep the basics in mind, such as power moves first, followed by isolated and/or shaping movements. I’m constantly hitting different parts of my muscles from different angles and with different intensity methods. It seems to work for me. I have never done the same workout twice which is why I think I’m getting such good progress.

To finish up my workout, I hit my abs again. I did abs as part cardio, part development. During my weight workout, I got my heart rate going pretty good and I was sweating and breathing heavy so I decided to keep that going for my ab workout. I layed down on the mat and did Air Bikes (but kept my feet about 6 inches above the floor when extended). I did 100 reps and stopped to take in the burn. After stretching for a minute, I did another 100 reps. My body wanted to quit at 50, but I pushed all the way through it without stopping. AAAHHHHH, it hurts! But just for about 10 seconds. Ok, pain’s gone now. That was my ab workout - Short and sweet, High speed, and painful. I’m sure I’ll feel it tomorrow.
