it’s been two weeks now doing my new altered training routine. I enjoy the change of pace. It’s fun to evolve concepts or ideas. I kept all my beloved exercises like deadlifts and squats, but, I go without breaks from one compound movement to another without rest. The weights are way smaller, but I get a lot more total work load done. For instance, I go for 30 reps wit 70 lbs barbell deadlifts combined with shoulder dumbbell presses (25’s( for 15 reps followed by bentover dumbbell rows 20 reps with the same 25’s. I just come up with combinations as I go, and it’s fun to just keep on moving. It’s so much fun I go for way longer than an hour. So the total calorie burn increases. Which is what I need to lose size.

My extra load of cardio work has done my legs good: I have fewer trigger points, my legs feel better in general. I feel flexible, lighter. This kind of work is easier to recuperate from than heavy weight training. I am very tired after, but if I wasn’t it just showed I am not pushing hard enough. I am not doing low-intensity work, I am doing cardio work. That takes more effort!

Tomorrow I am kickboxing.

I also had a small small refeed today. I am very moderate since I have shoots coming up and don’t want to risk any bodily misbehaving! So, I had a half cup extra oats, extra calorie rich veggie assortment and an extra serving of pistachios. Altogether 6-700 calories more than usual. It should do my body good.
