You may have noticed that I missed a training day yesterday. It was because of a kid’s birthday party. No, not because I had to go to an early-morning birthday party, but because we went to one a few days before. Nothing hits your stressed adult immune system like a dozen kids running around at a germ-fest and coughing on you…
Back: Chins (3×12); Pullovers (1×15); Behind-the-neck chins (3×10); One-arm DB rows (1×15); Bent-over bent-arm laterals (2×18,15); Forward-lean shrugs (1×20)
Delts: DB upright rows (3×30,20,15); Incline one-arm laterals (1×15 + X Reps); Lateral raises (1×18 + X Reps)
Biceps: DB curls (3×30,20,15); Incline DB curls (1×15 + X Reps); Concentration curls (1×15 + X Reps)
Abs: Full-range crunches (3×30,20,15)—last set ss with Planks (1×60 seconds)
Note: My current PowerBlock gym split is based on the Phase 2 workout in the Size Surge Workout e-book plus TORQ sequences from the 4X Mass Workout 2.0 e-book.
Summary: I probably need to boost my vitamin intake when I know there are kid parties for us to attend, as it seems inevitable that I’ll get sick otherwise. I thought I was fine, but my son got sick, then I was bound to be next… And I was. Took me out for a day and a half. Today was a good one, though, so I didn’t feel too terrible about missing. I went with 4X (3X, really) on midrange exercises for back, but only because I didn’t think I could get 30 reps on Chins. LOL! TORQ felt particular good on the delts and biceps, and I was really just happy to wake up feeling healthy again. Kids! ha!
