Benchamin Franklin 2 - Day 15
Solid day. The bench/bent row superset felt it would never end. Bench was nice and smooth the entire time. Rows started off a little rough. Once I locked in position more and got better bracing, they too felt better the deeper I went. I went heavier on the lat raises since the reps decreased. First 2 sets had much better form than the last 2. The Pullovers were another accessory that got better towards the end. Like the bent rows, I figured out better core bracing and it played a huge impact. Skullcrushers were skullcrushers. They were fine, but the 5x20 scheme felt like too much volume when you consider the cardio after it. 'As many sets of 10 CG pushups as possible in 2 min'; I was disappointed but only managed 3 sets. Arms were just dead trying to rush thru those after just completing the skullcrushers.
Now for a rest/cardio day tomorrow before attacking the heavy day Sunday.

DB Strength W1D3:
It's amazing how much improved on db-rfess I was today. This is day #2 of them and on day #1 I was falling all over the place, today I was rock steady, felt like I've been doing them four days a week for a decade. I also felt a lot of progress with wall sits. First day doing them was tough, lottsa teeth gritting to get through that 30 seconds but today has me feeling like I need to add 10 seconds, and today was 4 sets of 30s, not 3 sets of 30s.
Only sub I made was to do barbell RDLs instead of dumbbell, I don't see the advantage of DB-RDL over barbell RDL being worth the extra setup time. This way I just streamlined my session and I was able to use a more appropriate weight for RDLs. I got a good shoulder and tricep pump from the rest of the Supersets.
I'm sure many of you know this program well, the CARDIO section is a fricking joke, I kinda feel like that about all his programs that I've seen(I haven't seen them all, so relax). I'm scaling up these carries, 3 to 5 rounds of 25 yard farmer's carries isn't hard enough, I did 5 x 30yds today and it was stupid easy. Today's shrugs can frick right off. Shrugs are a waste of goddamn time, from now on I'm subbing db/kb snatches for that exercise.
Don't tell coach Ausmusmus, I don't wanna get kicked off the team.

Benchamin Franklin 2 - Day 16
The big 3 today were tough. I've been in a pretty decent calorie deficit the last couple weeks and I think it's starting to catch up to me. I actually went to my knees and let the safety arms catch the bar on the last squat rep. Core broke down and I knew I lost it.
I hit all the reps on bench and deadlift, but they weren't easy either. I went with straps on the last 4 sets of deadlift. Penlay rows seemed good as did the cardio portion of the workout.
