Second day back…
Well today was my second day back at it, and I knew that it was going to be more brutal than anything should ever be. Let me just say that I’m thoroughly f***ed… Combining legs with back and some biceps, especially on the second day back, is a deffinite recipe for unimaginable pain. I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow at 5:45 am for work to find that I can’t move… *sigh* Oh well, this is the way of the bodybuilding life. Only the Animal ads can put my feelings into proper words.
But anyways, enough complaining, time for some details. I was able to obtain my samples of Shock Therapy and Storm from my friend, both grape flavor, and the verdict: Shock Therapy grape flavour is probably better than the Wild Punch Kicker flavour, but Storm is much better in Fruit Punch. Same effects I guess, except for feeling the buzz a little more at first due to the fact that it’s been a while since I’ve taken these, but today was certainly the day to do so. As mentioned before, the split is screwed up for the next while, so I managed to fit legs, back and a little biceps together; considering legs alone are too death. But again, first week at it, I needed to use lighter weights to get myself back into the groove. I started with squats, and we all know how they are. Next I did Romanian deadlifts, which is what I’m going to regret the most, because my hamstrings are already f***ed, so I can’t begin to imagine tomorrow. Followed by standing calf raises, which are always fun. Next I decided to try the technique from the back episode of Getting Cut With Glass: bent over DB rows, since I’ve been so curious to try them ever since I saw it. And let me say, I think they’d work much better if done on a strictly back day, because the fact that my hams were so dead from the romanians, it made the exercise lose its effectiveness, so I’m still looking forward to trying them some other time. This was followed by some slow, deep contracting lat pulldowns. Finally, I did machine preacher curl 21’s to finish.
