I am destroyed and hopefully will sleep well tonight. Although chances are I won't as last night was the same
I done fasted cardio for the first time today and it was great. Nothing over the top but it made a good change and felt good. Although I never dosed insulin and just kept it to synthetine and syntheselen. I have 1 slin pin I have reused about 15 times
I know not good but the pin situation will be solved soon. I would never inject slin with a normal syringe so going to wait till I have some slin pins... should be a few days.
I was out most of the day so took my gym bag with a pre workout and a dmaa tab. As a result I couldn't dose my synthetine/syntheselen pre workout but ended up dosing them post workout with 2 caps of Partition MD and tuna and wild rice (50g protein and 80g carbs). It was one of my big workouts today and I pushed it hard. Pretty much till I had nothing left then I walked home (very slowly). I definitely felt the difference during training not having my intra aminos today. I done some random things so may miss out a few bits but training looked a bit like...
Lying stomach crunches... 6 sets of 20 reps... 2 to the right, 2 to the left and 2 to the centre.
Lying Knee Raises... 2 sets of 15 reps.
Oblique Extensions... 4 sets of 15 reps (2 each side)... these really take it out of you.
Back Extensions... 2 sets of 15 reps.
Machine Crunches... 4 sets of 15 slow reps with static contractions.
Machine Twists... 6 sets of 15 slow reps (3 each side).
Lower back Machine... 2 sets of 30 reps... 3rd set with 2 drops... 50, 30 and 20 reps.
Standing Barbell Calf Raises... 4 sets of 25 reps in my socks... I prefer the smith machine and it became available so I swopped over.
Standing Smith Calf Raises... 3 sets of 20 reps going up in weight. Then 10 sets of 15 reps with 20 secs rest between every set.
Horizontal Leg Press Calf Raise... 1 set with 3 drops... 30, 20, 15 and about 11 reps.
Assisted Pull Ups... 3 sets of 15-8 reps with 20 secs rest between sets.
Lat Pulldown using different width grips... 4 sets of 15 reps going up in weight. Then 10 sets to failure (15-7 reps) with 15 secs rest between sets.
Upper Back Row... 2 sets of 25 slow reps.
Cable Face Pulls... 4 sets of 15 reps going up in weight each set.
Smith Machine Row using Incline Bench... a few sets to get the weight up. Then 18 sets to failure (5-15 reps) with 15 secs rest between most sets. I started with 50kg a side for 5 sets, 40kg a side for 5 sets, 30kg for 5 sets and 20kg for 3 sets. When I lowered a plate there would be no rest. Every other set was about 15 secs rest in between.
Smith Machine Behind the Back Shrugs... 5 sets of 20-15 reps with 15 secs between sets.
Straight Arm Cable Pulldowns... 5 sets of 20-12 reps going up in weight every set.
DB Pullovers... 4 sets of 15 reps going up in weight each set.
Flat Bench DB Rear Delt Raises... 6 sets of 15 reps (3 sets each side).
Incline Bench Rear Delt DB Flyes... 3 sets of 15 reps. Then 2 sets supersetted with seated bentover rear delt raises... 15 reps for all 4 sets.
Rear Delt Raises using the Lateral Raise Machine backwards... 5 sets of 15-10 reps going up in weight every set.
Back stretches.
That counts as 121 sets
I was only in the gym for about 2 hours. I spend more time doing slow reps than I do resting between sets so it was very fast paced. That won't be a regular occurence but I do enjoy these intense and very depleting workouts. I like to push my mind and body but sure it is not needed. Most training sessions will be about 60-90 mins long in the next few months. Today I was literally soaked in sweat... the DMAA adds to that too. I feel good now though just very tired. I am thinking chest and quads 2moro and looking forward to it
