Today's workout was the Turbulence Training Big 5 Workout "B". As far as a work day was concerned, it was good overall, no allergy problems, had enough food. But I wasn't quite tuned in for the workout. Not in the mood, possibly. Perhaps I wasn't quite recovered from pushing it a littler harder on Monday...I dunno. But I got through it. And I felt much better afterward.
Remember, this is a full circuit routine..including these exercises:
- 1 Leg Squat
- DB Chest Press
- DB Row
- Bulgarian Split Squat
- Stability Ball Rollout
-----------------------------------------------
A.) 1 Leg squats were tougher tonight. Did them holding a couple of 10# DBs. The extra 20 pounds through off my balance a little, and I was still feeling Monday's hard work.
B.) DB Chest Press...again with a pair of 75# Dbs. Solid.
C.) DB Row...I bumped it from 65# up to 70#. Felt good, although I was still feeling the pullups from Monday.
D.) Bulgarian Split Squat...considering the 1 leg squat wasn't quite there...I ended up using a pair of 25# DBs.
E.) Stab. Ball Rollout ... kept the reps at 20 for all sets. A classic movement...gotta love it.
Overall worktime: 26:30 ...not good compared to 4 full circuits from last week.
Intervals: 6 rounds; 60 x 90 secs; 8/3 intensity. Felt good. Helped clear my head.
Cramps: Where did the cramping go? Thankfully, I seemed to have found a winning combination to combat the problems I was having with my cramping calves:
- Post workout...I've been supplementing with potassium at night (90 mg).
- Stretching periodically throughout the day. Specific calf stretching
- Making sure to stay well hydrated
Did that do it? Maybe. All I know is that I don't have the problems I was having just 2 weeks ago. I'll take it.
If you've been wanting to find a body management plan that works with you and doesn't take hours upon endless hours each week, then look no further than Turbulence Training. Complete, focused and results oriented. It's proven. It works. 'Nuff said.
