Sorry for a few days with no update. Wife's birthday Saturday after work, so we went out for dinner and some other activities that followed, lol...Planned very well, as I woke up Saturday at 197 lbs, fasted all day til we went out to dinner, then went in on some Mexican food...and I mean went in...and woke up the next morning still at the exact same weight of 197 lbs. Good example of how fasting can help prevent damage from having a pig out session now and then.
Sunday went to the gym twice, first for some HIIT, then for some lifting. Cranked out 2 405 lb single DL's then 2 single 425 lb deadlifts. Held it at the lockout position for at least 30 seconds each time. Definitely tweaked my back tho at 425 lbs. Perhaps too fast too soon. Was hurting really bad last night, but was a lot better today after keeping heat and massage(love that little machine I got) on and off most of the day at work. Then followed it up with 4 circuits of Weighted Dips(BW+50 lbs), Machine Preacher Curls(150 lbs), Machine Tri Extensions(170 lbs), Bench Step Ups. 8 reps for lifting activities, 12 each leg on the bench step ups. 1 minute rest between sets.
GW really is working well, I have been pushing harder and harder and I keep improving on my cardio abilities...probably could even cut down the rest periods to 35-40 seconds in between circuits...
No workout today, usually I would have done HIIT and my squat workout, but thought I'd give my body a rest after yesterday...will hit the gym tomorrow morning for some HIIT...
