Well, I decided to start my C2 officially on wednesday, April 14th. I was going to wait til monday but just couldn't hold out til then.
SSSoooo......:
C2 Goals: 8% bodyfat, Add 5-10 lbs. of new muscle, Bench 300 lbs. by end of C2, Squat 400 lbs. by end of C2. Also, concentrate on ab, calf and lower back and overall flexibility development. These are lofty goals, I know, but I like to shoot thru the target not at it!
Day 1:
Today (wed.) I just went in at lunch and did some light ab work and a few dips. Nothing major, just wanted to get the blood flowing. I am not starting my serious workouts til monday.
Day 2 (thur.): Today, was I rested, as I still had not decided to start my c2 yet. hee hee
Day 3 (fri.): Today I did a spin class in the afternoon afterwork. Then did a light upperbody workout. A couple sets of incline press, side raises, skull crushes, hyperextensions for my lower back. Sooooo much easier spinning with food in the stomach, I found out today!
Day 4 (today): It is 8:00 am right now. My plan is to go on the 9:30 am mtn. bicycle ride. Should last 2-3 hours. I have to hit biking pretty hard this week in preperation for next saturdays first mtn. bike race, "the barking spider". I now wierd name. hee hee, but it is such a fuunnn course! I have nooo idea how I will do, so I am just going to go and have some funn!! =)
This afternoon, I am going to finish my contest essay questions and get my packet sent in to EAS.
Tomorrow is my free day and monday, I start in on my first heavy weight workout for this second challenge. I will be hitting chest and back on monday.
Schedule as follows:
Chest:
Incline Bench Press - 2 sets of 12, 1 x 10, 1 x 4-6
Flat Dumbbell Press - 1 x 10, 1 x 4-6
Incline Flys - 2 x 8
Dumbbell Pullover - 1 x 15, 1 x 10
Back:
Chin ups - 3 sets to failure
Reverse grip pulldown - 1 x 10, 1 x 8, 1 x 4-6
Dumbbell Row - 1 x 8, 1 x 6
Deadlifts - 1 x 15, 1 x 12, 1 x 6
Hyperextentions - 3 x 15
I'm looking forward to getting back into the gym and this workout looks like a lot of fun!
I will be continuing my carb cycling schedule this challenge until I hit 8-9% bf. I figure that will happen in about 6 weeks or so. Then I will do more of a maintence diet to put on a bit more muscle.
Hope everyone has a GREAT WEEKEND!!
