Hump Day

I've been using light weights for the first few weeks in this increasingly depressing endeavor to spare myself injury. A tear here a pull there and I won't have time to recover before The Big Event in July. My goal is to get as deep into positive failure as I can with the absolute lightest weight I can stand to use.

I say stand to use because a set of say, 10 reps, to failure means you're only burning bad on maybe the last two or three. A set of 100 implies the last 30 might be agony. That's a lot of agony. The agony per unit workout time is high.

Training Day Whatever: 20 mins of a righteous step routine with some classic techno rave-y music I ... err.. a friend umm... legally recorded from the Internet. I have to use DB's at home and a rigged bench because it's all I got. So I started out with a warm up on unlined wide DB flies with a 7.5 DB's and ended up doing a long, horrible drop set of 100 reps going from 12.5 too 7.5 to 5 DBs hitting failure at every drop. Let's just say I got 'the burn' in fact I can barley type this shit out. Curls 50 reps 10 lb Dbs to positive failure. DB mil press one set of about 30 with 12 lb DB to failure. 30 reps w 25 lb DB overheads triceps extensions. About 50 leg raises.
