Day Thirty-three: "36.67 percent and the sleepy bear"
Morning jump-rope is tough. I've whipped my head countless times and seem to be no better at it in the mornings than I was a week ago. Nonetheless, I am trying to split the cardio from the resistance circuit.
Wednesdays = big workout day as always. Swapped days 32 and 33 so today I did the lunges and floor jumps and then managed to squeeze in five sets of proper pull-ups at the gym. 5,3,4,6,5. I've become a bit rusty, can't get up to the 9 suggested in the exercises. I used to be able to do more. Only thing was that the gym is busy these days and it's really hard to get time on one of the bars. In fact, during my 15 second break during my sets, one guy butted in to start doing other exercises and took forever, disrupting my rhythm. The pull-ups --clearly frustrating and causing me as much stress as anything during this program. Did a full set of weights--squats, weighted push-ups, squat/shoulder presses, standing rows, seated rows, tricep extensions, abs, etc. Then picked up some veggies at the nearby grocer, went home and finished off the Da Vincis and the regular ab work. Felt good and worked up a big sweat today. Was good that I had some pre-prepped sauteed chicken in just a hint of mustard waiting at home because I got back late. Cut up some avocado, tomato and cucumber in balsamic as well. On to tomorrow.

Pull ups run on a two week delay. Meaning you don't see rep gains for two weeks after increasing difficulty. So check in next week.
ReplyDeleteHey good going on the pull ups. Keep it up George.
