I enjoyed this workout, but after Lou spends so long telling you how bicep curls are pointless, I feel weird doing them. Also, I realized I don't like isolation type exercises anymore because I have to use weak, pathetic weights.

Today:
160.0 25% BF

Food:
Breakfast: 1 oz almonds, leftover spaghetti squash

Morning snack: several slices of turkey

Lunch: leftover meatballs & spaghetti squash

Afternoon snack: salad w/tuna, cheddar, tomatoes and ranch

Pre/post workout shake: 2 scoops choc powder & water

After workout snack: leftover chicken & roasted broccoli medley

Dinner: I'm making the roasted chicken w/butternut squash from the book. I feel like I have already had enough to eat for the day, but I'll probably at least try it. I hate putting hot food straight in the fridge without eating any of it fresh.

Today's workout:

Hyp II A2

Barbell reverse-grip bent over row supersetted w/barbell bench press, 30 sec rest

45/25 45/25
50/25 50/25

Wide-grip cable seated row supersetted w/dumbbell incline bench press w/palms facing each other, 30 sec rest

60/25 12's/25
70/25 15's/25

Dip - Since I can't dip too well, let alone for 25 reps, I subbed a dip between two benches with my feet resting on one. It was still pathetic!

BW/10
BW/10
BW/7 - That was all I had in me.

Swiss ball crunch

15/12

My arms are so fried I could barely drink my shake. I can't believe my dipping ability is so sad. That is one goal I have for the program - to increase the number I can do. I think I will do the two benches version for all the rep ranges because it allows me to get a lot more range of motion.

Happy to report my head is feeling well today! There were a few days last week when I was starting to get really depressed thinking TNT was not going to work for me because I felt so ill. I feel a lot more positive about it today. We'll see how this week goes.

And, only two more shifts at H&R Block!!!! Wednesday, April 16th is the first day of the rest of my life.
