Yesterday’s Afternoon Workout

I’ve been on a quest to build some muscle lately so I’ve been eating a little more than usual and have really been trying to hit the weights hard.

So my plan is to get to the gym (I’m lucky in that I work in one…kind of) and hit the weights 3 x week and then do one recovery workout at home with some fun kettlebell stuff (see my post from Monday).

Yesterday, here’s what went down…

1) Weighted Chin-ups, 5 sets (I worked up to 5 reps w/a 60lb DB attached to my waist)

2a) DB Incline Press, 3 sets x 8
2b) DB Row, 3 sets x 12

3a) Full Contact Twist, 3 sets x 15
3b) Face Pull, 3 sets x 15

Why is it that a 60lb DB attached to your waist feels lighter than doing chins with a 45lb weighted vest?

A lot of experts say that I should constantly have food in my mouth if I want to really pack some muscle on.

But, I’m still following my buddy Brad Pilon’s EatStopEat plan by fasting once per week because I feel it plays a huge role in regulating my hormones (mainly HGH) and because I just seem so much more productive when I’m fasting.

So TODAY is a fasting day because I have A LOT of work to do.

When I get home tonight, I’m making steak with some brown rice and black beans…a little Mexican flavor today! Can’t wait!

Enjoy your day,
