Golazo

Finished final Push Circuit 2, Goal 2 of three down. Goes down in personal history as one of the most challenging workouts. This workout stared me in the face and said, Sup, bitch, bring it. It knocked me on my ass of course so I had to elevate my legs 3/4 of the way through to get some blood back in my brain. The crux, single leg tap lunges followed by arduous breakdowns on each leg. I defiantly came back was never really down for the count just didn't wanna waste time getting through it.

Give these people air!

After a week of surf, it's back to Circuit Training and finally capped a month of grueling Push Circuit 1 with a weight increase in the majority of exercises, not without paying the price! (Ahhnold) Give these people air! I was almost flat on my ass after methodically and systematically knocking out all sets, moving from one to the next with very little rest time. I had to walk around the block to get oxygen flowing to my head again, and yes I breathe a lot during the workout.

The breakdowns, I must add, which are 3 insanely slow reps after a ten second break, will get you to muscle failure or you're fucking doing it wrong! Through half way the workout I am pretty fresh still, but the latter half practically lays me flat out especially after bumping up 5-10 lbs on a few of the exercises. I actually need to buy quite a bit more weight for the legs but using dumbbells for the entire thing actually gives me quite a pumped sensation in my forearms! They have developed quite a lot over the past month, which is an added boost.
