Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day 258

Day 258 The workout yesterday with my group worked me over really well. The stiffness started to accumulate this morning and built up over the rest of the day. By the time I got to my last couple training sessions, I wasn't moving very fast around the gym. I haven't had that kind of post-workout soreness for a while. It was very satisfying.

For my workout today, I decided to do a shoulders and arms strength session. As I mentioned, my legs were pretty toast from yesterdays training session, so I figured something light and more focused on auxiliary muscle groups would be a good idea. Plus, as I've mentioned before sometimes a straight forward bicep / tricep workout is fun.

Today's Workout:

Superset 1

A1. Db External Rotation 3 sets / 12 - 15 reps per side / 60 sec rest A2. Rope Face Pull 3 sets / 12 - 15 reps / 60 sec rest

Superset 3

C1. Overhead Db Tricep Press 3 sets / 12 - 15 reps / 60 sec rest C2. Cable Bicep Curl 3 sets / 12 - 15 reps / 60 sec rest

Superset 4

D1. Tricep Pushdowns 3 sets / 12 - 15 reps / 60 sec rest D2. Db Bicep Curl 3 sets / 12 - 15 reps / 60 sec rest

Tomorrow's workout I think will be a game time decision based on a couple factors. If my legs are feeling better I may get into some Olympic lifts, if not I may just do some cardio. I feel I've been slacking a bit on the energy system, so I'm probably do for a run or some form of interval training. I'm also planning on driving up to Edmonton to see my parents. I may leave earlier in the day depending on Nicole's work day. If we do leave earlier I may wait until we get to Edmonton and just do a run around their neighborhood. Whatever happens, there will be a workout.
