Thursday-January 29, 2009
I did planche training, push-ups and worked abs.
Instead of doing 6 sets of 25 push-ups as posted in my workout, I opted to do 3 sets of 50 with the 20 pound back-pack. This upped the intensity. The chest has FINALLY been a little sore as of late! LOL! It does look slightly better to me. I’ve also been working on the diet this week and feel that has contributed to my chest starting to improve.
As far as planche training the arms continue to get straighter and stronger. Next week I will be holding the tuck planche position for 6 sets of 15 seconds each. Still a long way to go before I can hold the position for a minute. But the progress has been gratifying.
I can tell I had a good leg workout on yesterday. The 2-mile run was a little slower than my sub 15 minute breakthrough on Tuesday. I managed to complete it in 15:38 
! I’m entering the last two weeks of this six-week cycle and am already prepping the next cycle. I will make some more changes to the exercises. I’m thinking that the cardio is about right. It appears to me that the real challenge to getting down to the 6% bodyfat that I want will be to use a cutting diet. I have one somewhere on my hard drive that worked for me a while back. I will, for now, continue to exercise, gain strength and dust that diet off in May or June!
I do feel that I’m getting my rhythm back and feel a lot better about my workouts and my body LOL than I did last week. I’m going to watch the diet until Sunday and give myself a "diet pass" for the Super Bowl 
(GO STEELERS!).
