Wow... while not the world's hardest workout overall (but CERTAINLY not easy), arms and shoulders works said body parts to pain and suffering and growth o_O I found the static arm curls to be particularly vicious doing the last few reps. Although I will state that I think the hardest exercise of the bunch is the seated shoulder fly's, not so much when your back is straight, but when you lean forward and do the fly, oh dear GOD do those burn. I was shaking after that specific exercise.
I did do the bonus round, and all I have to say about those three exercises is: OW.
Ab ripper X was kinda half assed today, only went till I got the shaking burn, not till failure as I did on Monday. I wanted to get the workout, but also my abs were still hellaciously sore from Monday, so I took it easy on them. You do ab ripper 3 times a week, so one half-ass day shouldn't cause TOO much damage to the overall results.
On another front, a lot of people have been asking why I do a video and a blog everyday.... to be honest, it's the other half of my transformation. I was a shy, reclusive, not very confident person. Now that I'm forcing myself to video, write, and expose all my failings/successes to the unknown masses, it's helping build confidence in myself and breaking down the shyness barrier ever so slightly each day. It doesn't work to blast the body into shape without also reforming the mind to accompany it.
It's part of a 6 month transformation, and I'm hoping that I'm as assertive, confident and uninhibited in December as I was in 2002, when I was still fit.
That's all for now, here's the post workout vid!
