Week 5, Tuesday: I LIKE heavy weights!
I really LIKE doing the heavy weights with lower reps. Just hit the gym, bang it out, and go on with your day.
I did chest, back and abs yesterday and it was great. I did modified supersets (two exercises, back-to-back with no rest in between) and even with 90 second rest periods, I was still done with the workout in 35 or so minutes! And I was sore today - really felt it.
I did biceps, triceps and shoulders today. Each new set, I started out with the weights too low. So, I did the reps till failure and then modified the weight upward on the next set so that I failed at 6-8 reps. It was hard, but there’s something so satisfying about cranking out the heavy reps, especially when you know that you have only 6-8 to do. Hammer curls with 30 lb weights? No chance! Oh yeah, there is. Sweet.
