Did not want to get out of bed this morning, just too exhausted! I did anyway and did Amy's ASC 3 through to the combined 3 & 4, which takes about an hour. Not sure if I am getting sick or just allergies (which I normally don't get), nose is running a little and head is a little stuffy, and just feel off.
Oh I did one pullup this morning with a real slow negative. Can anyone tell me why when you do a workout for the first time you get major DOMS, then the next time you do the same workout with HEAVIER weights and nothing? It's so frustrating!

Good Morning Chinsters!
It doesn't feel like a good morning, though. I have serious DOMS in my pecs and my back is a little sore. I'm not sick but I am feeling a little run down. Almost felt like doing yoga this morning but didn't have a lot of time so I did my planned cardio. Did one of my virgin workouts -- CIA 2502 - Step Inspirations with Heather Rider. It also has a medicine ball workout and a lower body shaping workout which I have yet to try. This one was good -- not too long (almonst an hour), complex but doable (got pretty much all of it on 1st try but was complex enough not to be bored).
I did a set of 4 chins last night (a new record!)
Catherine - Have a great workout tonight! Enjoy the firewalkers! I always get sore bis from PUB. I guess you could substitute KBs for a total body workout. Do you feel it's a cardio workout as well or a strength workout with a cardio effect (for instance L&G and Jari's workouts)? Hope you get a good night's sleep tonight without having to take anything. I get that zombie effect when I have to take an allergy pill.
Linda - I'm one of those that feel you don't have to get DOMS to have a great or effective workout but I usually get them if it's a new workout or one I haven't done in a while. I guess once you're body gets used to the new exercises, even if it's heavier weights, it doesn't matter. I hadn't done S&H in ages so I wasn't surprised to have major DOMS this morning.
Pebblesus - Welcome! Hope to see you around more.
Have a great day!

Marcy, WTG on 4 in a row!!!!! Awesome!!
As far as KBs are concerned I am not sure if they fall more as strength or cardio or combo. I haven't actually done the workout, just a few swings. My problem is that I have been doing splits for so long,..... I know I need to change it up a bit for a while. That's part of the reason why I bought the KBs in the first place. Change is hard
Linda, I agree with Marcy about the DOMS. But I have the same problem. I get DOMS with the first w/o and usually not again regardless of increasing the wt. I hope you are not getting sick

B&Gs sure packs some punch I did the first 42 mins. That's all of the standing leg work and some of the floor work. Used my 10# vest for most excercises plus the weights that were used. I really focused on the DLs and felt in in my hiney good!! I finished it of with the SB seg of Stretch Max--- ahhhhhh!!

Busy day, but here is what I did this morning, once again not wanting to get out of bed. Hit a couple of PB's too.
Superset A
Pistol Squats
8/8/8
BB Chest Press
6/6/6 - 110# pb
Superset B
RDL
8/8/8 - 125# think this is a pb too
Spiderman Climbs
5/5/5 each side
Superset C
DB Step Ups
10/10/10 - 30's another pb
Rear Delt Raise
12 - 15's
12/12 - 13's Not quite ready for 15's again yet, so playing itr safe and working the negative hard.
Then cardio at a 45/90 ration for 6 rounds doing runs around the step and power 7's, then combos 1 & 2 from Amy's ASC 1.
Might head back later and do some pull ups!

Good Afternoon Chinsters!
Still no chinnin' for me (still recovering from Monday). Did S&H Shoulders today and stability ball segment from Mindy Mylrea's All About Legs. Pretty much like stab. ball in PLB but with more balance moves.
Front Raise - 5# 1st two sets; 8# last set (I usually do 10 or 12 for this but my elbow started hurting me immediately so I really scaled back.)
Side Raise - 8# all 3 sets
Posterior Delt Raise - Set 1 - 8#, Set 2 - 8# first 4 reps; 5# last 4 reps; Set 3 - 5#
Seated Overhead Press - Set 1 - 15#; Set 2 - 13# - 7 reps; 10# - 1 rep
Side Lying External Rotation - 5#
Catherine - Love DL's! Really get a great stretch in my hams. Funny, I get more upper body DOMS than lower. Good luck with the chins tonight! Love that stretch in SM2 where you just lay over the ball. Feels so good!
Hi Linda!

I changed my mind and did RS this evening. Just wasn't in the mood for SZ. Chinups-9, 8/2, 7/2 &5/2 (second numer assisted). I so wanted to do 10 dang it!! Next week I will go back to weighted. I finished up with Stretch Max with the band. Trying to do more stretching.
Marcy, you are smart to scale back with your elbow bothering you. Oh, and I lovet that stretch over the SB too!!
Linda, woo hoo on the pullups!!! I guess we'll let you off the hook

Morning ladies. I can not decide if I will take my rest day today or tomorrow. I really should take it tomorrow. I have to get up early to take an elderly relative to the doctor and that usually turns into an all day affair. I will see how I feel after work.
Hope you all have a good day!
