Day 9

My Thoughts:

It’s all about consistency. I don’t think I’ve ever trained this hard in my life. I know that must be sad, but it’s the truth. That said, I feel like I’m winning. Goes to show you how showing up is really is half the battle.

22 Days Left

That’s just over 3 weeks. Let’s keep going.

Pre-Workout Stats:

Weighed myself twice today, once in the morning and once in the evening. I was 175 in the morning, and at night I was 175.8. Both measurements were taken on the digital scale. I’m not concerned about this. If I knew how to measure body fat percentage, I would, because that’s a more accurate measure of what I’m trying to reduce. As it stands, it looks like I’m losing body fat, which is the goal. So even though my weight has slightly increased, I think it might be because of muscle growth, and not fat gains.

The Workout:

Get some loud music playing and loosen up. Don’t hurt yourself.

Exercise	Sets	Reps	Rest
Barbell Deadlift	3	x12
Lat Pulldown	3	x10	45 sec
Bulgarian Single Leg Squat	3	x10
Dumbbell Press	3	x10	45 sec
Barbell Military Press	2	x10
Bench Dip	2	x12	45 sec
Double Crunch	2	x20+
Superman	2	x15	45 sec

Just like before, perform sets of 2 exercises back to back, then rest for the allotted amount of time before moving onto the next set of exercises.

Neck stretches! Supposedly good for relieving headaches. Guess we’ll find out!

Closing Thoughts:

I hope everyone who’s been following along has been benefiting from these workouts, or at least learning something interesting in the article portions of these posts. Maybe, if we have some intrepid readers, they’ll be able to post their own results along with my own! Let’s keep going!
