GLEE 90X - Day 90 (I made it! Kind of.)

 

Slow Chin-up - 1x15 sec up, 15 sec down (aiming for 30 sec)

DB Curl - 11x40# (20# each arm)

Slow Dip - 1x10 sec up, 10 sec down (aiming for 30 sec)

Tricep Extension - 8x15#

Deadlift - 8x100#

Seated Calf Raise - 2x12x50#

 

So, GLEE 90X is coming to an end.  No massive transformation like you see on the infomercials.  It would probably be different if I had worked out 6 days a week instead of 0-1 days a week.  Ah, well.  I'm now transitioning into a High Intensity Training routine that I hope to stick to for at least 6 months.  I'm using this week to get a feel for the exercises and then I'll officially kick off next week when the next 6WC begins.  Today was my "A" day and I'm planning to do 3 weeks of A-B-C, then A-B, C-A, B-C for the last 3 weeks.  The idea with High Intensity Training is that you work your muscles to failure/exhaustion and then allow plenty of rest.  Sounds like it should fit my current schedule well.

Arm Day

 

Slow Chin-up - 1x20 sec up, 20 sec down (aiming for 30 sec)

DB Curl - 5x50# (25# each arm)

Slow Dip - 1x15 sec down/up +4 more at regular tempo

Tricep Extension - 9x15#

Deadlift - 10x135#

Seated Calf Raise - 12x55#

 

2nd time trying this routine and it's not nearly as taxing as the Chest day was on Friday.  It may have something to do with not taking the full 30 seconds for the chin-ups and dips.  Felt the tricep extensions, though.
