Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day 286

Day 286 I was hoping to run some treadmill sprints this afternoon, but due to my work schedule I had to have my lunch quite a bit later than usual. I really wanted to run my sprints but I figured it probably wouldn't be a good idea with a belly fully of panang yellow curry.

My stomach was actually a little upset after I ate. I don't usually eat my lunch at 3:30, plus I also think I was really hungry and ate my curry a little too fast. I sat around for a bit waiting for my stomach to settle. After a while I felt better but thought that sprints were still a bad idea. As usual I relied on good old fashioned upper body strength work as a substitute.

Today's Workout:

Exercise 1: Underhand Grip Barbell Row 5 sets / 8 - 10 reps / 2 min rest (135lbs x 10 for all sets)

Exercise 2: Knees up Neutral Grip Chin-up 4 sets / 8 - 10 reps / 2 min rest (Body Weight x 10 for all sets)

Superset 1:

Exercise 3: TRX Wide Grip Row 3 sets / 10 - 12 reps / no rest

Exercise 4: Tricep Pushdowns 3 sets / 10 - 12 reps / 60 sec rest

Superset 2:

Exercise 5: Overhead Tricep Rope Extension 3 sets / 10 - 12 reps / no rest

Exercise 6: Dumbbell Alternating Bicep Curl 3 sets / 10 - 12 reps per side / 60 sec rest

I thought about doing some sprints in the early evening when I was feeling better, but decided to through in tomorrow. I don't foresee anything getting in the way of my eating schedule, and I'll make sure to take my time with my food a little more.

Although the youtube video below doesn't really relate that much to my workout today it's a really funny commentary on abandoning a hard workout. It the case of the video it would lower body.
