HIT Workout - September 30th

What a difference the order makes.  The Chest Press was my last exercise 3 weeks ago and first this time.  Same weight, but more than doubled the TUL.  The other exercises show a standard progression, up in either time or weight.  Interesting note: every exercise felt HEAVY this week – I was sure I was having a bad week, but I wasn’t.

Negative HIT Workout: September 16th

Killer leg work-out today, I left with very shaky trembling legs…but fun as usual…well…at least once it was over.  I worked out fasted, eating a roast beef melt (minus the bread) and a side salad an hour after the workout.  I’m leaving for Europe tomorrow morning for 10 days – wish me luck on keeping the Paleo…any Super Slow gyms in Frankfurt?

HIT Workout - September 9th, 2010

3 weeks since my last workout…trainer was on vacation, then I was on vacation, etc.  So I was a bit nervous about my results, albeit needlessly.  I worked out fasted and had a salad an hour after I was done.

What happened to my chest press?  I performed the exercise immediately after the Overhead Press and the muscle groups are too similar.  I really pushed on the OP and depleted my muscles – nothing was left for the Chest Press.
