The finger, would be obvious. With apologies to Terry, I never noticed the avatar "feature" until you highlighted it Red.  |

When you do the HIIT on a bike do you simply up your RPM or do you change gear (increase resistance if on an exercise bike)? Now that I have bought a bike I am working on finding a good balance between gear and rpm for my hard intervals.

Both. I'm usually at about 34 RPM on the "rest" and around 55-60 on the "work" portion. I also up the resistance with each passing minute until at the end of the 20 mins. my legs are dying!

Yep. Not that out of the ordinary for me back in the days of bulking up and not eating right.  But as you can see I've had to work my way back up. I'm trying to stay as close to the same weight for tris as bis. As you can see I was at 60's for curls. I don't think I could get 120 on 'crushers yet..... that 110 was rough.

I must be differently/weridly out of balance. For skullcrushers at that rep range, I could probably do 70, maaaaybe 75. When I had a training for a while he was shocked I was doing 55's for 12-ish reps.
But on DB curls I could do probably 50's for 5... maybe only 45.
In any case... I'm not worthy.  |

I'm scared and worried..... I'm feeling like giving up on working out and eating right.... I know it's only a feeling I'm having tonight and tomorrow I'll feel back to it again, but I'm worried that I won't.
I ate McDonald's tonight, I skipped a cardio session..... 'course the wife and I was at the emergency room for 4 hours this evening. She has low blood pressure and passed out at work. All the test came back okay tonight and the only thing they can suggest is that she goes to a cardiologist and gets one of those harnesses to wear that monitors the heart all day long.
This is why I missed the workout and ate crap. I guess that's why I'm feeling down and like I want to quit tonight.........

But you won't quit, 'cuz you're Bad Ass (TM).
I think taking your wife to the emergency room qualifies as a good reason to miss a workout and eat a single shitty meal. Get a good night's sleep, rest up and continue being Bad Ass tomorrow.
