Benchamin Franklin 2 - Day 3

Loved the fast paced bench/row SS. Both bench and rows felt better the deeper into the sets I got. The pullover/lat SS was nice as well; taxing but not extreme. I started too heavy on the skullcrushers. Form suffered at the end of the 2nd set so I had to drop down for 3 and 4. Even then damage was done and form suffered on set 4. The cardio portion of as many sets of 8 CG pushups as possible in 2 min was not good. Upset that I only managed 4. Arms didn't feel good from the get go on those. Im sure skullcrushers and pullovers played a huge part of the low number. Off day tomorrow with just some cardio and IR sauna.

Man, I did day 1 of FOTH2 last Monday, did day 2 yesterday. Was tied up and couldn't hit the gym. Was amazing how quickly I lost some strength taking about 10 days off from my last back/bi's workout. I was feeling a little sluggish and wasn't hitting all the reps I was doing 10 days before on FOTH1.

Benchamin Franklin 2 - Day 4

Took the day off yesterday as planned. Just did some stationary bike and walking for cardio. Definitely happy I took Aaron's advice on taking a rest day after day 3. Triceps are still killing me 48hrs later.

Knocked out day 4 this morning. Nice to get the big 3 lifts all in a single day. That last set of deads (and squat to some extent) was heavy. Got them all done with decent form, but the last set wasn't completely unbroken. I LOVE the pendlay rows. I'm not an explosive person and I don't move quick. Those force you to be explosive and it's something I need more of. Cardio was solid and I didn't feel close to failure on anything. I may push those weights higher next time.
