Week 7.5: Back Again

Did my first full workout since shutting down last week.

I’m a little stronger than I thought possible, although 17.5 kg/arm is f**king hard to press. But it’s good to know that I can do it and continue with my workouts.

In other words, I’m back biatches!

Bone Dry Days: 25 (since 12 Feb)
Bet Days: 23/60 (since 14 Feb)

Achievements

Front Day: 70 minutes to complete this workout. Lifting 17.5 kg per arm is much harder than I thought, and I took longer breaks in between to psyche myself up. The last 2 reps of my Bicep Curls to Arnold Presses became just Arnold Presses. The Isometric exercises were harder especially for the last 10 seconds.

Hopefully, it’s just my body readapting to lifting heavy shit.

Back Day: Done. Still feel a twinge in my right knee. I’m definitely stronger at these back routines. I should add proper pulls up into the mix. The ones that I’m doing right now consists of me hanging from the staircase and pulling myself up. It’s not easy at all.

Running Day: KIVed slope running in favour of just running non-stop. No pain. Just waiting to do it again next week.
