Back and Biceps

I was lazy yesterday morning and didn't get up and do my workout. So I made that my rest day and just have to pump out 12 workouts and be finished. Today I did Back and Biceps after work. I upped some of my weights and pumped out more pullups. I also finished up with a modified ab ripper. Trying to get a better burn in the abs. I got a better one when I used the ab straps so I did that again today and some of the ripper with a 12.5 lbs weight instead of the 7.5 lbs one. I have a short 8 hour day I will head home and hit up Yoga. Looking forward to it. I am not going to let it get into my head this time and will crush it.

Last Plyo of the Round

Plyo was hard today. I have had a wild hair in my rear yesterday and today and have did lots of projects around the house. After about 6 hours of work today I did Plyo. It is pretty warm outside today and that really made it tough. I got it done though. I get to get up tomorrow morning before work and hit up some back and bi's.

Chest/Shoulder & Tris Week 12

Had a friend man up with me today and do the workout. It went really good. Busted my butt. I also got 10 one-arm pushups. 5 each arm. Only got 5 total 2 weeks ago. Also I did Ab Ripper with 4 lbs ankle weights and for some other exercises I used a 7.5 lbs weight on my chest. I am putting a plastic coating on 2 12.5 lbs weights. Eventually I will be using one of them for the Ab Ripper.

DON'T FEAR THE RIPPER!!

Last Day of Week 11/Kenpo X

It's crazy to think I only have 2 weeks left. I felt good today but sore. My legs not so much. They usually are really sore from yesterday but my abs are pretty sore. I watched ab ripper and used my ab straps hanging from the pullup bar and did a ab workout. I started it with 8 lbs ankle weights on and about half way through I took them off. I felt like I was dogging it but I was exhausted. And today I know I worked hard cause I am really sore. I need to keep doing abs with weights to make the muscles bigger so they are more likely to be seen when the fat disappears.

Today I did Kenpo and wore 4 lbs ankle weights and started it holding 5 pound dumbells. I did the first 5 or so exercises and realized that 5 lbs was way too much. So I grabbed my powerblock inserts which weigh 2.5 lbs each. I held onto them the whole workout except for 2 exercises. My arms were toast from hanging onto the 5 lbs ones and needed a short rest. Using the extra weights really upped the intensity and got a great sweat going.

A friend of mine is coming by tomorrow and we are going to hit a cardio workout. Not sure what we will do but will let you all know. By the way my rest day is tomorrow and I will get pics up. Hopefully there will be some decent changes between these and 2 weeks ago.

Legs/Back

63 PULLUPS!! I beat last week by 10.5 pullups. I only have next week to try to reach my goal of 100, which I won't but I am really happy to see this improvement. I had not been going up that many for about a month so today was awesome. I was dying by the end of this workout. I am borderline dizzy. My brain needs glucose, so I didn't do Ab Ripper. I will do it tonite. I need my Orange Chocolatey Delight. My pregnant wife did the leg portion of the workout with me so that was cool. I am really looking forward to her not being pregnant so we can workout together.
