Chest and Back went well today. I upped my reps and/or resistance in most of the moves. I got a pretty good calorie burn but I fell a little short of tying last week. Perhaps this is a good sign. As I get in better shape, my heart rate should not spike so high, thus fewer calories burned in the same workout. Also, I did not break a sweat until halfway through the workout this time. I was finally able to do a few decline push-ups, and answered the question about “regular” vs “on knee” difficulty as it relates to the decline position. The verdict is, “on knee” is easier than the “regular” in the decline position. I think “on knee” bears less weight and the angle has less to do with it. I am a little excited to say farewell to this routine until week 9! Ab Ripper X also went well with marginal improvements on a couple of moves. I gained another 0.8lbs today. I think that I should have done the bonus cycling that I planned and failed to do yesterday.
