The last three days have been interesting since I each workout has involved shoulders. I didn’t plan it that way but by the end of my chest workout (which involved a lot of bearcrawling and a lot of push ups) I noticed my shoulders felt like they were on fire! The other interesting thing is that I not only worked shoulders again, but we took more pictures for my cardio directory which was almost all leg work, and then finished with chest. I literally did some type of exercise from 6:15 a.m. until noon today. Not all out stuff, but no wonder I’m exhausted tonight.
The other piece of exciting news I have to report…my trainer and I finally took measurements again. I’m not posting the results, but since I revamped my whole workout plan (Jan. 1) and eating clean for the Jen Phat Camp Competition I’ve lost a little over 7 lbs. and lost some significant inches in my hips, abs, calves?, and stomach. Chest and arms stayed the same (which is what I wanted) and my shoulders gained an inch!!!! Finally, the push-ups and such pay off! Seriously, by design I am doing heavier upper body work and more dynamic body weight stuff for my lower body. I’m thrilled to see that it is working. I doubted the methodology at first, but I’m a true believer. I knew it in my clothes but it is nice to have solid evidence.
So far I have found a good combination for me: 30-40% protein, mini-meals, cardio and weight split into two different workouts, cardio in the a.m. (I just like having the house to myself), and the new super and triple set routines that challenge the body in a new way each week. That has taken me to a new level in my physique and I love it.
