Ok, start of weeks 5-8 workouts yesterday.
Went well, a bit too easy to be honest. It prescribes 3-4 sets of mainly 12 reps in 2 tri-sets (three exercises with no break then rest before doing all 3 again). I cant really do seated row atm, so put in 1 arm DB rows, that made the workout less exhausting I think. Co-con lunges werent as exhausting as I expected, but by the end of the 2nd leg my first was on fire. I think I need more weight on my RDLs, but I'd never really done them before and need to sort out my form better. Surprisingly my bench press was easier than expected. I dropped a bit from my normal 5 rep range, however I got through all 3 sets of 12 really easily. I'll give this a good bump up. Maybe the work I did in the last 4 weeks has given me a better bench
.
Still, I've had issues in the past where I've pushed too hard with a new routine and injured myself, so I'll keep things a bit easy for day 2 routine as well (some more stuff I havnt done before), and then work at pushing harder as I go.
HIIT required 4 sprints this time. I only waited about 3 hrs after I did my workout, but nailed them no worries. Felt REALLY good.
Loving this program so far

Unfortunately I messed up my nutrition. Thought I'd tracked everything. Went with a dinner that would put me 100 cals over my goal but figured that wasnt too bad (didnt have much in house), but then before heading to bed I realised I'd forgotten to include my workout drink. There was another 280 cals I missed recording. Crap, about 400 cals over plan. Thats about maintenance. Will cut a bit extra today and then get back on track.
