Thursday-June 25, 2009
I completed my ab workout today. Thursday’s ab workout consists of mostly ab stability exercises (front and side planks), evacuations, etc. Since I’ve been really focusing on the diet, I’ve been trying to make sure that I am maintaining an intensity to my workouts to help encourage more fat burning (LOL, yes T, there is still fat on my body 
)! I feel a great deal better about what I’m starting to see emerge as far as my body is concerned. Although I haven’t gained much in muscle size, I’m happy that I can still look clean and athletic. My goal is to see a qualitative difference between last year’s body and this year’s.
I will work on planche push-up training on tomorrow and hit the back. I’m very encouraged by the progress I’m seeing with the planche training as well. It appeared about a month ago that I had reached a plateau as far as strength and endurance building were concerned. Interestingly enough, I tried integrating the tuck planches with the other specialized push-ups I use (pseudo and Tiger Push-ups) and found that I’m able to sustain the holds even after doing them. I was afraid at first that my arms would be too weak to do this. This was a major psychological breakthrough for me. I anticipate attempting to push-up and down (LOL!) by the middle of August. Wish me luck!
I hope everyone is having a great day and had outstanding workouts!
