Yesterday's workout handed me a large problem: My stationary bike broke, the pedal and the pedal arm simply snapped off. That meant a cardio issue not just for today but the future. Yeah, there is a treadmill in the shop too, but I am not sure how my knees and ankles will take it. That is part of the reason for the bike. To overcome this problem I decided to superset my workout. Supersets are putting to exercises together and taking no break. The only rest you get is a short one between the double set. It really can shake things up for your muscles but it also can be a workout for the heart and lungs as well.
Motivation: 9 - it was a little harder to get motivated because I had to rearrange my plans on this one. I hate that but I roll with it because the alternative is to do nothing.
Focus (New): I want to start asking a different question: How focused was my workout today? Today was a 5 out of ten because I was focused some times and other times my head was out of it and somewhere else.
Goals: Good Preparation, Good Mind-Muscle Connection, Complete Workout
Preparation: Meditation - 5 min. Visualization/Light Stretching
Weight Training:
Superset #1:
Deadlift: 135lbs.: 15-15-15
Alternating Dumbbell Curls: 26lbs.: 15-12-12
Superset #2:
Bent Over Row: 135lbs. 15-15-15
Preacher Curl: 46lbs: 15-12-12
Forearms:
Behind Back Wrist Curls: 115lbs.: 15-15-15
Wrist Roll Ups: 8lbs. (3)
Today was difficult and in part is that my preparation usually includes 10 min. warm up cardio to get the blood pumping. Without it, I felt a little down and it did not get better. Despite that I still finished.
