Working Out

My forearms are still tender to touch.

I made it through one workout yesterday, the change in my program felt really good and I was in and out of the gym in an hour. A little about how I've designed this batch of the month program:

First I designed it so that if I wanted to do 2 workouts in a day I could.

There are only 6 exercises in each workout right now. They are divided up as follows:

1A. Explosive Exercise.
---2 Mins of rest between each set.

2A. Upper Body Strength Exercise.
2B. Lower Body Strength Exercise
---1 min of rest between each set.


3A. Upper Body
3B. Core or Grip
3C. Lower Body
----30 seconds of rest between each set, no rest between each exercise.

Basically what I've done is start with a power/explosive exercise in my workout, follow it up by two big strength drivers, compound movements usually back to back. And lastly I circuit which helps boost my metabolism.  Now right now my carbohydrate intake is very low and I really can't press much more than this per workout, everything is done hard fast and intense. Next month, if I still need to lose some more fat, I will increase the circuit from 3 exercises to 5 exercises. If I need to gain more strength, I'll take the circuit away and actually have two more strength exercise modules.

Why only 6 exercises per workout? Because I leave nothing left, I go as hard and as fast/controlled as I can. So that even after what looks like on paper to be a "short" workout, I am sitting on the bench DESTROYED.

I've thought about this quite a bit, I don't have a mock course in my basement, no gym in my area has replica pieces of the course and the rock climbing gyms/regular gyms are pretty bare bones. The limited equipment I have I just have to run with, and push myself so hard that when G4 sees my video they go "what the hell is this? it's just a video of him laying on the floor sweating all over the place for 5 mins!?" lol... jk  But seriously, it will show just how hard I work every single day of training and how every meal I eat (4-6 of them a day) are all dedicated towards getting my ass on that course.
