Day 8 of 40+ Transformation Challenge
After some "unclean" diet choices on Saturday, I’m back on track and feelin’ GREAT! I decided to shake things up this week, and re-order my workout days, along with going heavier. Next week, I’m going HEAVY. Period. Today was back/bis.
Monday, 4/20:
Unassisted pull-ups - 3 x 5/1neg, 3/1neg, 2/1neg
Narrow-grip pull-down - 3 x 8
Iso-lat low row - 3 x 9
Iso-lat high row - 3 x 8
EZ-bar curls - 3 x 10, 8, 8
Incline db curl - 3 x 8
Upright hammer curl - 3 x 12 (a lil lighter - finished off my bis!)
It was an AWESOME workout! I felt strong and PUMPED. My only regression has been in my pull-ups, which intrigues me. I was up to 8 unassisted, but I’ve been stuck back at 5 for a few weeks now…however, my EZ bar curls are stronger than ever and I’m about to go up to 60 lbs, which I’m excited about!
Diet has been perfect today. Looking forward to dinner of chicken breast & broccoli, followed by PP "ice cream" for dessert, and some cottage cheese before bed!
Hope all my groupies are doin’ great this week!
