Just finished a trainer led workout. We did shoulders and tris
Warmup
1 mile tready (slow)
db shoulder circles (15 times each way at 5lb e)
bb Bench press flat
1x20 (45lb)
2x15 (85lb)
1x8 (95lb)
Cable pec flyes
3x15 (2 plates) Worked a lot on form here
Dips
3x15 (bw) I got a good full ROM on these. It was kick-ass
1/4 push ups
1x5 (f) (bw)
1x2 (f) (bw) He declared me finished at this point. LOL!
today was another really tough day for me in the gym. It is getting very hard for me to be motivated to lift. He called me "grumpy" most of the time. I just could not get into it. I could not get into it last night either. So we did some talking about being on the cut and what things I am doing. I believe my food is in good order. He believes I do not rest enough meaning take any serious down time with my body. This weekend I was on my feet both days for 10 or more hours doing remodeling of the house. I did take a break to go on the bike ride but that did not count as rest. LOL! He suggested that I hire people to take care of the farm gardens over the next months and that I make sure that I just sit and do nothing physical for at least some period of time during each day. He also suggested that I find more time to sleep. I have only been averaging 6 or so hours the last many nights. Now where the hell am I supposed to fit in all this doing of nothing? Cripes.... He called me a livewire several times and suggested that I meditate on our coversation sometime tonight in a quiet place on my ranch. Probably not a bad idea.....
In addition to this he said that it is probably down to the wire time for us as well. He said that we will likely now switch our focus from building muscle to just maintaining it. Higher reps and lower weights will come into play as we head into the lower bf%.
