Thursday: Crappy Workout

Was pressed for time so plan was just to crank out that Circuit Act 2 workout but I wasn't ready for it. Between hammered leg meat and the fact that I was a lethargic stuffed piglet from too much eating today, I knew it would be tough, but the real problem was that I overdid it, with no strategy or eye toward completion. I could have paced myself and still worked hard for an efficient workout that maximized reps BY completing all 3 rounds. Instead I gassed out and quit, basically relegating this to my "warm up." At my level I should have probably stayed under 20 for each exercise and not dug in as fast or hard as I did on Mountain Climbers. Did the 2nd round burpees just for shits.

Circuit:

• Burpees x 60 sec (24, 15, X)
• Mountain Climbers x 60 sec
• Jumping Squats (45lb bar) x 60 sec (23, X, X)
  
• Dumbbell Swings (55lb) x 60 sec (23, X, X)
• Barbell Thrusters (45lb) x 60 sec (15, X, X)
  

Fokk.

Rest of workout consisted of light lifting with heavy reps, mostly with DBs, and mostly focused on arms and chest, just to keep the heart pumping and the sweat pouring for as much time as I could.

Tried to finish up with a quick, light run. But my calf spasmed out 2-3 minutes in. I am going to have to accept that I am essentially disabled b/c of these calf spasms and I cannot use a treadmill. It sucks.

Weigh in: 177.5

What a shitty disappointment this whole thing was. I will try that circuit again next week and I think I can kill it. Just need to be up for it mentally and physically.

Tomorrow -- Squat strength workout + some back and core action...
