Sore, Sore, and More Sore

Well I am four days into my first resistance week back from recovery week and let me tell you I am felling it. I decided I was going to up resistances and really push myself the last 6 weeks of this round and if the soreness is any indication I getting exactly what I asked for. I didn't post yesterday because t my normal post time I had not yet done my workout. When my alarm went off I wet to get out of bed and I had a strange pain in my knee and right hamstring so I decided I would give my legs the day to keep resting and get the workout done at night. I am not a fan of doing the workouts at night but it is better than not doing them at all. Before I get into how legs and back went I figured I should tell you about the "Day after Bob" As you know I really tried to bring it through the entire DVD and not stop at all this time around. It started off well and I didn't pull up as much but it did cost me at the end of the workout because I was drained and didn't make it through my abs workout, but some was better than none. My legs were sore all day from the amount of effort I put into trying to get through the workout and I knew it was going to make Legs and Back a challenge. That being said, after I put my daughter to bed it was off to the office for my workout. I was a little timid at first because it is a hard enough workout on its own but add the fact that my legs were all kinds of sore going it to it really had me worried. I was certain that all my leg rep numbers were going to go down and even spend the day wondering how I could change my schedule to give myself the day off and rest. In the end with a little help from my wife I decided to suck it up and be a man and get the workout done. I was surprised that even with the soreness from the day before my rep numbers on my leg exercises didn't suffer as a matter of fact some of them went up. I am not going to lie the wall squats were killer this time but I even did those without having to come up. My back exercises went just as well. I was able to do the same number of unassisted pull ups on most of the exercises and even did more on some of them. There were one or two were my unassisted number went but the total number went up. I am guessing it was because of the extra unassisted pull ups leading up to the last few exercises. All in all a good workout and today was on to X Stretch and Abs. I was sore this morning but the stretching helped out a bit. The stretching stopped the soreness for a little bit but it is starting to come back now. No big deal, I would rather have the soreness on a stretch day than on a workout day. Tomorrow is Back and Biceps and I am going to bring it on that one as well. I want to see more numbers go so that I can start to thing about moving the resistance up one more time before the end of the program. Once done (about 5.5 weeks to go, I am going to rock some major hi intensity cardio and try to burn off the last 4 % body fat I trying to lose before I hit my under 10% goal. I hope I can get there. Until next time.
