Slacking on posting

Ok, so I’ve been slacking off.  I’ve gotten really busy and I haven’t had a chance to write here, but here I am now.  I haven’t been slacking off on working out, though.  I was able to work out four days last week and today I started my second week of Hypertrophy I.

So far, I have just one thing to say… I HATE high rep lower body workouts.  And tomorrow is my 3×15 day on workout B (lower body).  Last Tuesday, I did the 4×10 workout B, and quit after three sets of the Bulgarian Split Squat/Step Up superset.  So, needless to say, I’m not looking forward to tomorrow.  Wish me luck.

Hypertrophy I - A1

Did my first workout of Hypertrophy I today.  I liked it.  It took less time than I thought it was going to take.  When you look at the workout on paper, it looks really long, but it moved along pretty quickly.

I think it took me just a little over an hour to get it done.  I always forget to look at what time I start working out.  I did notice I parked my car at 4:37am.  After I park my car, I go into the locker room, take my sweatshirt and sweatpants off, walk out to the station I’m going to be using, put my gloves and headphones on, then start working out.  I don’t know how long that takes, but let’s say no more than 5 minutes?  I did notice that I finished the last set of swiss ball crunches at 5:45am.  That makes the workout right at about an hour long.

Since this was the first workout, I spent the first couple of sets of each exercise determining the right weight to use.  So, even though I feel like I got a good workout, I feel like it’ll be better on Thursday when I do workout A2 with the correct weights from the get go.

I’m going to really try to hit the gym four days a week for this program:  Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.  This will hopefully allow me to get the most out of the program.
