So yesterday was successfull in many ways. I drug my arse out of bed before 6am. In the gym by 6 for super accumulation torture numero uno. Made it through that with some difficulty, but nothing world wrecking. then had time for a walk down the road and a prayer. Very nice mornig to boot. the cool thing about this program is that you're never doing max work in the mornings. You take two super-sets targeting apposing muscle groups, make em count, and you're done. You get out entirely what you put in. This works out well becuae I can reserve some fuel for my heavy workouts every other evening.
It's pretty easy to conclude that nine iron sessions in 6 days is very tiring. However, I think my biggest challenge, at least in the beginning will be convincing myself to fall asleep. This always happens when I quit drinking. I can count on it. I went to bed at 10:30. Dozed off around 2am. woke up for every hour on the clock after. Finally got up around 5:45 to workout. No use lying in bed doing nothing productive! On a positive note, the lack of sleep doesn't affect me nearly as much when I'm not drinking. Gonna have to get me some of that Zx12 stuff.
The afternoon workouts are much as they have been except that I lowered my maxes on every lift. I've decided to take a very conservative approach and try to perfect each lift while ramping the weight up over the course of a year.
Day 1:
Standing millitary (with log, in sand)
WU
105 x 5
115 x 5
130 x 10 (ok , so maybe this was a bit light, but it will get heavy soon enough)
This morning went well. Lots of front squats, chin-ups, DB bench, and hammy curls. would have been better with some sleep, but I'm not gonna start complaining. Just feels good to be moving again.
No workout this afternoon.
cheers, yo.
