BER Fatloss Circuit C (RPT 8, RPE 9, RPD 2)
I started off with Intuflow while the boys were watching TV and hitting each other with foam swords. I felt a bit more stiff than I remember, which is probably due to not working out at all for a week, and not being too regular with the IF in the weeks before I stopped. I took my time and went as deep as I could into the movements. Although I mainly kept it at beginner level, I did add some additional Intermediate level moves in at the end for areas that felt like they still needed attention (Thoracic Spine and shoulder circles being two of them). It's worth noting that I think my 4CBD today was the best I've ever done it.
After putting the kids to bed early, we hit the High Intensity workout. At cycle 5 of the Bodyweight Exercise Revolution Fat Loss 4x7, you use the same circuit on Medium and High Intensity days. It's up to you to regulate your RPE to stay in the target range of 5-7 on the Medium day. Today I really tried to pay attention to my RPT, since I figured it had gone to hell with a week off. Instead, I was able to maintain strict form for longer than before. I guess I really did need that recuperation time. I was gassing badly on the fifth round through the circuit, so I just focused on cranking out the current exercise with the best form I could, all through the round. It's not possible for me to overstate how awesome I feel about this workout. I'm very happy with my performance today.
More random chops-world news, both workout related. One, I managed to hit the "spinal rock to deck squat" move today for the first time. Not only did I do it, but I managed it about 40% of the time (I hit it every time during the third round, but then fatigue set in and made it difficult). Two, last night while getting ready for bed, I caught a look at myself in the mirror with no shirt on. I'm still a disgusting fatass, but my belly is noticeably smaller, and my pecs and shoulders are just a tad wider. This is great, since I'm not really losing much weight. My pants were getting loose for while, then the thighs started getting tighter due to all the squats. I'm going to have to buy some old Hammer Pants if this keeps up.
