Workout 19 & 20

I’ve been extreamly lazy the last few days and haven’t updated the blog :( I didn’t goto gym on the weekend anyway so nothing was missed. I did however, go on Friday.

Workout 19

I completed “Workout Day 4” today. One more run through and its done. Ahh chest. I love doing chest. I increased the weight on the Peck Deck and High Peck deck. Was really struggling to get all the reps out but managed it. My chest was definantley feeling the pain on the weekend from pushing so hard. Chest and abs are the remaining muscles I want to put a lot of work into to shape them nicley. Leg raises as usual DESTROYS abs. After each set I do I feel as if im about to throw up. It’s strangley a good feeling… I did HIIT on the treadmill again, shins held up nicley.

Workout 20

Ohhh I am so glad to be done with “Workout Day 1“. Legs and back, and the hardest workout on the list. I pushed the Squats up another 2.5kg, the calf raises up 2.5 kg and the Barbell over hand and underhand row up 5kg. I thought my calves were going to tear off, I could  barley walk after I did all my sets. I bet they will be sore tomorrow. Back is feeling a bit sore as well. The problem with working the back is hurting your back in a bad way feels very similar to working your back in a good way, you can’t really tell until a few days later if you hurt it or worked it. I didn’t do any cardio today, just was not in the mood for running and then destroying my legs through weights.

Conclusion To “Day 1″ Workouts

Well I think I’ve made quite good progress on the weights I was using for these exercises. My girlfriend tells me she doesn’t want my legs any bigger than they are, so I will be easing off the legs when I do my new program, just try and maintain there size, and perhaps work on toning the calves a bit more. I won’t miss you though workout day 1. Your one hard bastard.

I think your doing great on your workouts and you know your limits and that’s a good thing. You never want to do something that might further hurt or injure you. As far as the legs go I think you should do what’s best for you and what works and look you are aiming for. Only you know that :-)
Hope that one day you’ll explain this HIT program. I tied to do research but haven’t found anything that helpful.

lol
From a female perspective, legs should be in proportion. You dnt want tree trunks lol.

The HIIT program is one he does to stay trim. HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. I found a few quick links for you

Thanks a bunch. I’ll give it a look. I guess I was being a bit one sided. Only looked at it from the male perspective :-) I see your point as well. You do want equal proportion . I say a guy at the gym that had arms as big as tree trunks and it just didn’t fir his body proportionately. He look a bit like a freak. Don’t mean to judge him. It’s just the perception I saw.
