So good news and bad news for today… started my new leg workout, and felt good. But I think throwing in the stiff-legged deadlift kinda killed me. By the time I got to the leg extensions, I had real problems maintaining form. By the time it got to the lunges (my least favorite exercise of all), right at the end of the workout, my legs just couldn’t do it. It’s not necessarily that they were exhausted (they were tired, but by no means would’ve given out)… but there were some aches and twitches that I wasn’t comfortable with. Meaning that my form might’ve slipped :s So I’m watching that.
To ensure this doesn’t happen again… two things I’m gonna do:
- Start with stretches as of next week. There’s a great list of stretches in my Built To Show book… that I’m gonna start doing as of next week.
- Move lunges earlier in the workout. Ending on my least favorite exercise is not a good idea! So gonna move it earlier in the routine.
Outside of that feedback, I took my SuperPump 250 again today, and really, it’s well worth it. For people that believe an NO product is shit, I will fiercely stand up and say that it’s not. For mental alertness alone, it’s more than worthwhile. I got such a boost from today… it was awesome. And thoroughly enjoyed the workout – it was easier and quicker than other workouts this week, so I’m definitely going to keep taking it.
