Motivated (for some reason)
For some reason, over the past couple weeks I’ve been growing more and more motivated to work out. I don’t know if it’s because my body senses the football season is around the corner or if it was seeing Bill Kazmaire (former World Strongest Man) in person at Summer Fest. Anyways, I’ve gotten a few new supps added to the list in Universal GH Max and Universal BCAA 2000 (also for some reason I’ve turned into a Universal Nutrition fan boy.) I’ve also found myself drinking a lot of Monster and Mountain Dew’s AMP.
With all the new supps and the added caffeine I’ve been having a little fun in the gym. This past Saturday I found myself doing Close Grip Bench with 295 lbs for 8 reps, which is something that I would never do. For the 1st time in years my tri’s are still sore. I’m not sure how much I’m going to get done on the bench tonight, but that remains to be seen.
I’ve also changed my cardio around a bit. In stead of wasting 30 min chugging along on an Elliptical or Treadmill I’ve started Interval Training. I’ll go 20 min on a Treadmill bouncing from 3 mph to 6 mph every min. I’ll tell ya, I’m not as tired at the end of cardio, but I keep sweating for hours after than. It’s pretty cool. I just hope it actually burns off some body fat!
I’ll end with that for now. An update on my wife: She’s doing really well. The doctor said everything went as expected. She will get a cast tomorrow which she has to wear for 3 weeks and then on to the walking boot until the achilles is done healing in 6 months. Hopefully all will go well and she’ll be back to normal sooner than later.
