Hostyle Conditioning - one on one, Arms, arms and more arms

Saturday morning means 2 things, weigh in and strength moves.

Well, first the weigh in. The steady state treadmill work paid off, I lost 5.2lb's this week. Happy with the results!

Now on to the workout,

Warmup, standard one

Strength training

Bench
10 reps with 2 chains to warm up

8 reps with 4 chains

Then I did 4 rounds of 4 chains and some extra weight, 6 reps each round

I finished this portion with only 2 chains as many reps to failure.

I managed 16... the last 3-4 were comical, as my arms went to Jelly.. They were so numb I couldn't tell that I was pushing the bar at all.

We then moved upstairs for the next bit

TRX rows for the upper back

8 reps

5 rounds

The last 2 rounds were tough, as my arms were still burning. I tried to use my back more and it seemed to help

Finished with 3 rounds of Kettle Bell curls

During each round Curd would say middle, 3/4's etc... That is where I would have to stop the curl and hold the Bell. These were extra challenging.

Done.

Arms are going to ache tomorrow I think. Day off tomorrow, then back to steady state on Monday. Cheat night tonight! Pizza time! I have earned it!
