Especially not this year.
Anyways. Made time for a quick lift and some cardio walking. Nothing too intense. My energy levels are still pretty low - most likely from continued calorie deficits (the family dinner Saturday night notwithstanding … so much ham.) As such, keeping my reps high and my weights in around a 60% range of heaviness remains ideal. Ended up with a good pump, no joint pain and no real discomfort.
In other words, mission accomplished.
I mean, my Ego keeps calling me a wuss. But my plan to trim the love handles knows I'm on the right path.
Anyways, here's what I did for all 7 of you who may care.
Back w/Biceps
Close Grip Pulldowns - "180" x 12, 12, 8, 8 (decided after this to only do 3 sets per exercise, was feeling a strain)
EZ Curl Bar - 80lb x 12, 12, 12 (nice and controlled)
DB Curls - 30lb x 15, 15, 15 (I should go up, were only there was a 32.5DB)
Cable Pressdown / FacePull Combo - "50" x 15, 15, 15
1 Arm Mach Preacher Curl - "65" x 12, 10, 10 (No rest, just swapped arms)
Cardio - 30 Mins Treadmill Walk 3%, 2.6mph
So yeah. Nothing ground breaking. Made sure to get over 10K steps, had a high protein meal and still kept my calories down. Won't post the tracking screenshot since it's a bit messed up - working nights messes with the tracking days as you might imagine. I mean I still track it, but it's weird when dinner comes before my sleep on the same day as breakfast.
Or maybe I'm messing it up somehow.
Weird.
K - til next time.
