Yesterday was LBWO, (I had thought I posted this already though
) and my dad worked out with me and it kind of screwed things up on me for deadlifts. I ended up using DB's again, but they felt good and I did manage to squeeze in my 6 reps at 120 at the right time when dad was done benchpressing. I really felt the burn in my calves doing raises yesterday, felt good. I'm doing a lot of reading, trying to decide what's next for me. I'm reading up on Muscle & Fitness' Rock Hard Challenge. Some of the things in there I dunno if I'm agile enough for yet
So, I might do another BFL challenge. I'm also entertaining the thought of trying out the reverse pyramid technique. Maybe I should just learn some new exercises. So many options!

Today was cardio. I intended to test myself to see how long I can run for. That didn't go so well.
My hammies started screaming after a minute and a half at 7 mph. So I hit my 10 in the first 3 minutes! Backward and dumb I know. But I wanted to see how long I could go...Not far! Anyways, I did the whole rest of the 20 mins doing HIIT with the incline from 6-10% at 3.3-3.5 mph. I actually did 1.17 miles, my previous HIIT day which had 4 windsprints was 1.25 miles. So I don't think I mucked things up too bad. Tomorrow is rest day!
I could use about 3 of em! And tomorrow is the Ruiz vs. Jones fight! Rooting for Ruiz!
