Sums up my day precisely!
I've added one point to my Dumbass Ideas of 2008 after doing that workout yesterday before
really reading through the workout in Stage 3! Jesus, Mary and Joseph!!! That body weight matrix at the end of workout A almost had me in tears. I consider myself a masochist, but this was taking it to a whole new level.
WORKOUT:
One-Armed DB Snatch
- 1x6x12, 1x6x15, 1x6x20
DB Single-Leg Romanian Deadlift- 3x6 each legx20 db's
Barbell Bent-Over Row- 1x6x65, 1x6x75, 1x6x85
DB Single-Arm Overhead Squat- 3x6 each combo.x12db/25/db
DB Incline Bench Press- 3x6x25 db's
Plank- 2x90 seconds, 1x120 seconds
Side Plank- 3x60 sec. each side w/3db scoops
Body Weight Matrix:
24 Squats, 24 total Alt. Lunges, 24 total Alt. Jump Lunges, 24 Jump Squats- 1st matrix- 3 mins. 45 secs. 2nd matrix- 4 mins. 35 secs.
One armed DB snatch-Started out with too light of weight, will definitely be doing this set with 20's +.
Side Plank-Did these instead of the called for woodchoppers because as mentioned before, don't have a mid-cable pulley and I don't dig doing them on a ball. Feel the side planks w/scoops are just as effective for me.
Body Weight Matrix-Allow me to repeat again how much this sucked! The second time around equated to knowingly squirting lemon juice in your eye.
Complaints aside, it was a killer workout and I'm excited to have the weekend to recover!
Food today was good, same old-same old, but I am foreseeing a couple glasses (bottles?) of wine in my future this evening. I've eaten really light today and after this afternoon's butt-kicking, feel like I've got the calories to spare!
