Today was MusclePharm Get Swole Workout Day 23 of Phase 1 and it was legs and abs. I again attempted to jump up in weight by doing the following:
Overall, the legs felt pretty good. My hamstrings tightened up during the deadlift/hamstring curl superset, but they did not bother me during the lunges. I felt pretty solid on the squats and was happy that I was able to jump 10 lbs. I think I could have managed to complete the 5 sets of 12 with 200 and possibly 205, but I am happy with my progress. So for for phase 1 I increased my squat reps by 25 lbs for 5 sets of 12.
I did suffer on the ab wheels this week and did not complete all 50. I felt a strain in my ab muscles (I believe it was from the pull-overs from the chest and back workout). I had to throw my pride out the window as I could just feel that this was not a regular type of sore and attempting to complete the ab wheels could have resulted in an injury as it was really painful. I will attempt to do some of the ab wheels on shoulder day, but if it is still feeling strained, I will just let them recover for my rest days and hit them when I start the pyramid phase.
