Week 7

Week 7 Summary

General Comments:
- I like the music in Kenpo X. I'm pathetic.
- I'll never be able to do one-arm push ups.
- I have injured my left birdie finger; it hurts so bad I can barely do pull ups, and the 'outside' part of it by the big knuckle is a bit numb. Not good.
- I was expecting a tough/bad week, from a results standpoint, but that wasn't the case. I had a good week.
- Had a tough week schedule wise, as this was my Holy Week, so nutrition was a complete mess, from a P/C/F ratio perspective. All considered, did fine here.

Tuesday - Chest, Shoulders, Tris / Ab Ripper X
This was a surprisingly good day. Almost all sets had increased reps and/or weights. The ones that didn't were almost all after a gain in the previous set. Felt fried after this. Did complete Ab Ripper workout, no rest. Overall, a gain from the previous week.

Wednesday - Off
Went to pool to swim and it was closed. By the time I returned home, it was too late to workout, so I had to take a day off, as I had a meeting that evening that prevented me from working out then. Was the first workout I missed. Not happy.

Thursday - Back & Bi's / Ab Ripper X
Left birdie finger is in pain, so it affected me somewhat. But I was able to get through it. Nearly all sets were at least the same as week prior, with no setbacks. Very pleased at results of this day. Fully completed ARX. Overall, a gain today.

Friday - Yoga X
Was unable to do complete workout, so I did the abbreviated version. Was pretty fried from the back/bi workout. Just pleased I was able to do it.

Saturday - Legs & Back
Was a tough day, but again made progress. Had a great back workout. As I write this (Monday night), legs/glutes are still really tired. I think this is the toughest workout of this series. Did ARX, and was unable to go the whole way through...would take a 5 second break, and was just unable to do it. Was still sore this AM from this workout.

Sunday - Off
Had a long evening at Church on Saturday, so I took the day off. Did Kenpo Monday AM. Not ideal, but couldn't miss it.

NUTRITION:
Like I said above, Church commitments reeked havoc on my nutrition, but that was okay. The numbers below do not include Sunday, as I hate a whole lot of crap. Had no way to measure (or had no desire) cake, ice cream, sugar cookies, etc.
