Chest, Lats, Triceps, Abs (extreme focus)

Don’t you love it when everything just feels right in the gym. It was a great workout and I had extreme focus. And that was with staying up too late last night. Maybe I need less sleep, not more? Nah, I’ll call it a fluke…

Note: My current PowerBlock gym split is based on the X-Rep Mass-Detail Workout in the Ultimate Mass Workout e-book.

Summary: As mentioned above, I was a bit surprised at how great the workout was this morning – considering my lack of solid sleep. It was one of those great ones where you just feel “in touch” with every muscle fiber. Strength was even up a bit while reps remained about the same. Must be the fact that outdoor weather is here (except for the major Midwest storms at the moment), or maybe I was happy that I didn’t have the 3:00 a.m. roadtrip that was pending. Either way, still feeling great a couple hours after the workout.
