Days 2 & 3 of 40+ challenge
Got a new workout log just for the challenge, peeps! Can you believe some dude at the gym asked me about my log and said how it’s "old school", how it USED to be popular? I couldn’t live without my log!
Not sure if Sunday or Monday were technically the "challenge start" days, so I started on Monday, 4/13.
I pre-workout supp w/ 2 scoops White Flood (N.O.); during workout supp w/ 1 scoop Purple Wraath (BCAA’s). I never eat before my workouts - can’t stomach it. I do 2 "carb-up" days a week, 1 is within calorie deficit calories, Saturday is my carb-up/refeed day - eat well OVER maintenance (or try to - don’t usually track on Saturdays).
Monday, 4/13:
15 minutes on elliptical (level 12), followed by hammies (going lighter/more reps this week):
ATG squats, 4 x 15, 12, 12, 10
SLDL, 4 x 15, 15, 15, 15
Kneeling ham curl, 4 x 15, 15, 10
Diet was perfect on Monday! Macros 50p/25f/25f. Mood: FANTASTIC, excited, feelin’ great!
Tuesday, 4/14:
15 minutes on elliptical (level 13), followed by delts/abs:
Arnold press, 3 x 18, 15, 13
Iso-lat raise machine, 3 x 15, 15, 15
Upright row, 3 x 15, 15, 15
Bentover rear raise, 3 x 15, 15, 15
Decline leg raise, 3 x 20, 13, 12 (my abs fatigue VERY quickly and BURN!)
Diet almost perfect - couldn’t get enough carbs in for my "carb up", may try again tomorrow. Cals were good. 45p/25c/30c. Feeling VERY hungry today! Mood: FANTASTIC, pumped, can’t wait to workout tomorrow!
Tomorrow is a NEW day - with endless possibilities…

Here is a neat way to do bent over rear raise.
Sit on the end of a bench and bend forward so that your chest is resting on your lap.
When you do them like this instead of standing bent over, your torso doesn’t bounce up and down and you can execute the movement with less cheat.
I actually got that tip from a stripper a long time ago.
It works. Good workout, btw.

Yep, I have tried rear raises seated, Worm, but it’s been a long time. There was something about ‘em that felt awkward - maybe my monkey arms are too long or somethin’! I appreciate your suggestion via said stripper… lol I’ll put ‘em back in my arse……………..nal for next week’s delt workout! Thanks for the reminder! Hope you’re having a WACKY WEDNESDAY!

I think I’m going to keep notes so when I write my transcript for the movie "There’s Something About HERM"…I’ll have a "box" office hit!
Hey Herm…Looks like we have a serious contender here.

I didn’t give myself the nickname "Buffy Buffington" for nuthin’, Glennberger! Nah, I really didn’t…one of my chick friends did.
