I took the day off from the gym yesterday as planned. Instead I carried a sandbag with me to the park and did a circuit workout with bodyweight and sandbag exercises. 3 rounds of burpees-jumps in each circuit set SUCKED. However, being outside in the cool weather sweating and watching the sun come up was amazing. I think I'll try to do this more often on "off" days.
Dumbbell Strength W1D3
Just like days 1 and 2, today was another good one. Grip issues have gotten better as I didn't really notice issues until the last 2 sets of shrugs during 'cardio'. This plan really allows you to push the weights since it's all fill-in-the-blank instead of set %s. While I mostly like this, it did bite me in the arse on the lat raises/front raises superset. I was too ambitious and went too heavy on set 1; sets 2 and 3 suffered because of it. Everything else went as planned.
I'm really loving the intensity of this program. I was a little hesitant on it as I like a nice balanced barbell plan with the big 3 (squat, deadlift, and bench press). However this plan is hitting everywhere nicely. Definitely going to get it the rotation on a regular basis.

yea its way harder than it looks and very very leg heavy. if your legs are lacking, its a good program to choose.

Dumbbell Strength W1D4
Today was a nice end to the week. I underestimated the toll that sets of 3x10 and 3x20 on chest supported rows would take on me. I had to drop 5# from my planned weight on the single arm rows. I completed the 1st set at my planned weight, but I knew form would be better if I dropped down for sets 2 and 3.
Those overhead carries.... I'm not sure if my face showed confidence or worry while walking around with a heavy DB over my head. Either way there was confusion again on some of the faces in the gym.
Heading to Nashville, so plan on taking a break this weekend and just getting my steps in (and maybe a little cardio at the hotel). Back to the grind Monday when I get back!

in week 3 of pool season 1 then planning on doing pool season 2 but will probably run DB strength after. im liking the sound of it. legs need some work and i cant squat so this sounds like the perfect plan

Spent the weekend in Nashville with my daughter for a gymnastics meet. While the trip was nice, I paid for it yesterday. I didn't get enough water or sleep and food quality was meh at best.
Dumbbell Strength W2D1
Today was pretty blah. Woke up at 3:30 for a 6:30 flight so I only got about 4-5 hrs sleep. Just wasn't in the mood for working out but knew I needed to do it anyways. Got everything completed with the planned weights with the exception of 1 rep on seated shoulder press. The forearm pump from the first 2 supersets was unreal. By the last set of skullcrushers, my arms were just jello. Last couple reps were hard to complete since my arms felt heavy and were just sort of numb.
Dumbbell Strength W2D2
Today went better than yesterday. The worst of it today was the last set of walking lunges 24 reps (12 each leg). I was very pleased with the 1 arm rows and plan on bumping up the weight next time. Elbows started to hurt some during the last sets of alternating DB curls and Zottman curls. Form on the last set suffered and I probably should've dropped down. I plan on putting some elbow compression sleeves on next time for a little added support.
Glad days 1 and 2 are done this week. If you have an undisciplined weekend, this plan will make you pay for it.
