Another great World's workout today! Finally got in that "intense" legs day I'd been planning. Disappointingly though, the only part of me sore from yesterday's workout is my underarms from all of the pull-ups. Don't know if that is normal or if it means that I'm holding the bar wrong seeing as my girlfriend who did the exact same thing as me is feeling it in a totally different part of her arms! Anyway, today's workout started with my scheduled run of course. I really wanted to make it to 25 today so I had a late afternoon Starbucks coffee thinking the caffeine would help to keep me going longer than usual. It didn't. Made it to my usual 20 by really pushing myself through the last few crampy minutes. I think the coffee did more harm than good. Need to find a good source of pre-workout caffeine that is a) not coffee so my tummy won't be upset and b) is not carbonated because I really detest carbonation! Open to suggestions...
After my run I moved on to my usual favorite one-legged dead lifts (3 sets of 8, each leg). I upped the weights to 20 in each hand again which I am finding to be quite an increase in difficulty! I followed these with 3 sets of 8 (each leg) on the standing glute press machine, 3 sets of 12 on the leg press machine, and finally 3 sets of 12 on the standing calf machine. For abs today I did 4 sets of 8 standing leg lifts, crunching straight and to the sides, and then front and side planks (holding each of the three sides for 60 seconds). I finished up with a lot of stretching to make up for the lack thereof yesterday. Overall, very satisfying workout today!
