With this website down on Friday, I didn't have a chance to post my workout for that day so here goes: I worked my arms in the morning and focused on my triceps since I skipped it the previous week. For both triceps and biceps, I did about 5-6 exercises plus I got my lower back and abs in. For lunch, I did some intervals on the elliptical. It was tough given I was trying to max my output for every 2 minutes and then rest for 2 minutes where after 20 minutes of this, I was worked. However, I still finished out the rest of the 60 minutes but I couldn't maximize my intensity as much.
For Saturday, it was just a rest day. I did load up on calories more given I was expecting to do a long ride on Sunday. However, the starchy carbs were limited mostly through the day time where I only had fibrous carbs in the evening.
Sunday's ride was ridiculous and in the rain where it was very hard on the body. Not only was the pace fast, which I didn't mind, but the cold wet weather made it increasingly painful...especially after having to stop for a couple flats. The guys we rode with were pretty fast, and to me it was just about the climb up past Cooks. I was a little disappointed about falling off on the 2nd crest before the downhill. I wondered if I could have set up the hill a little different. I think if I could do it again, I'd dictate my own rhythm rather than following those ahead of me. The big bummer was I don't have any stats to review given the problem with my Garmin.
For today's chest workout, I got my 5 exercises in: flat bench, low angled cable cross over, high angle cable cross over, machine incline press and machine decline press. I worked my ass off since my focus was on my performance yesterday, so I got a pretty good workout.
At lunch, I hope to do some cardio on the elliptical again, but I think I'll limit the intensity and just work on burning fat.
