Program Week 2

Program Workout Week Notes---The rest was nice but Hades really took its toll on me.  My biceps and back are still sore today from the pull ups.  It was a good change from the cardio intensive workouts of the Pre Program but those cardio workouts got me ready to focus on strength training rather than having to stop more frequently due to not being at least in shape to handle the intensity.  Onward we go!!!

Program Workout Week Notes---

Program Start- Week 1

Program Workout Week Notes--- Thank goodness hell week is over.  I was able to complete all but the last workout on Sunday due to a severe headache and my shoulders were extremely sore from the workouts of the week. The days off have and will be nice.   I cut down my calorie intake during the rest days because of low activity and because I indulged with carbs over the weekend and need to shed the extra water weight.  Not looking forward to this weeks workouts because I struggle to do pull ups consistently either from lack of strength or poor technique.  I will have to struggle through this deficiency and work toward improving.  I have always wanted to be one that can do pull ups with ease and have a tough road ahead of me.

Pre-Program Week 5 (HELL WEEK) Workout

Pre Workout Week Notes--- I took the weekend off due to a minor head cold and because I was entering Hell Week.  Friday's round of Metis proved to be rather difficult because the cold was just beginning to set in and I was gasping for breath trying to complete it.  I am going into Hell Week optimistic that my cold will not be so bad as to keep me from completing the workouts.  I don't plan on attempting any personal bests but you never know what will happen.  I'll be happy just to complete the first few days if this cold gets any worse.

Pre-Program Week 4 Workout

Pre Workout Week Notes--- Dione has proven to be a rather tricky workout.  I posted an almost 50 minute time on my first try and thought that my time would come down significantly like Aphrodite did.  This was not the case.  I pushed myself hard on the following three attempts this week but could not improve upon my time much, in fact it went up on some.  I again look forward to changing the workouts this week.  Dione was not my favorite but has left me a challenge that remains unbeaten. Next time I do this workout, I am determined to get a PB.  On a good note though, my weight dipped to 194 lbs. this past week but as I mentioned in last week's post, I was not going to record it because it was not the weight on my benchmark day.  Well, this morning, I was officially 194 lbs. on my benchmark day.  Moving into week 4 of the pre-program phase on a good note.
