Quick workout, 45 minutes that was with 4 minute warm up/5 minute cool down. I also used the 120 seconds or less to get to the next body part and start warming up that sped things up real fast and my heart was ticking fast and I had sweat from my neck to nuts by time I was done!

Holy shit 45 minutes, I’ve been busting my ass on all my other workouts prior to starting this, but this thing beat my ass. I had plenty of calories the last few day, although no carbs does play a toll in my zombie state after a few hard days of training.
1/7/10
OFF, much needed day off. I thought of doing some steady state, but decide to rest up cause I really think tomorrow and Saturday are going to beat my ass! My appetite really jumped mid morning.

I learned a lesson today, get to the next exercise right away don’t wait the 120 seconds, just keep moving. I was over the suggested time frame, although it was a decent workout, I had a tingle in my right bicep (I partially tore it a few months back).
It sucks training alone and having to haul 225 in each hand in the HS Row, that’s where it happened. So I just trained smart afterwards, could have hit more weight just slowed everything down and focused on the concentration (and not tearing anything).

Well that concludes week one, what a bitch. My legs were still sore from last nights’ leg press work. I was shooting for 495 for 8 mentally, but damn that physical side sucks! All in all was really run down and need to refeed.
So far so good although mentally the bicep is holding me back, I also attempted a weight on front press and it was too light, I just kept going I will ajust next workout. I will start next weeks post below.
Working notes, move faster between exercises. Also not sure if I need to use the prescribed rest periods for warm ups or only working sets.
