STS Disc 13 Tricep Extensions Surprise

[neicebug]

Hey - I don't know about you, but when I got to Cathe's surprise bonus on set number 4 of the dumbell tricep extensions, I think every muscle was firing....especially my chest! WOW!

Right now my body is just sooo tired from the increased weight.

I don't know if I can make it through the day. This mesocycle is really really going to kick my butt! Not sure if I am looking forward to Wednesday's leg workout.

Seriously, I couldn't agree more. I'm dragging today!! I think I need a protein or energy boost of sorts, especially as I get ready to tackle meso 2 legs, disc 14 tomorrow morning. eek!!

I did disc 13 a few days ago and I'm still sore. I did disc 14 yesterday and have DOMS this morning; even in the calves!

I was going to add on some ab work after disc 14. I was exhausted following the leg workout so instead jumped into the shower. ;-)

That tri ext bonus was a surprise for me too. I had to rest and then try the 2nd one. If I can lift my arms I plan to do some kickboxing tomorrow.

I loved 60 second breaks also

I LOVED the first workout in Mesocycle 2. I felt like I really worked my arms to exhaustion.

The pec flyes were tough, just because the weight was so heavy that I was afraid I was going to strain myself. (But I didn't!)

My arms were so fatigued that it was really tough to do those incline bench press and pec flies. I struggled to get the weights up as I was rolling down on my board. However, once I was positioned on the step, I was fine. Iroinically, I didn't have DOMS in the shoulders; just in the pecs and triceps. Then again, I think I was lifting lighter for shoulders than I was for the chest and triceps.

I just did this one today. Did you use dumbbells or a barbell for this exercise? I wonder why Cathe/crew used a barbell and Deazie used DB's. Is the muscle hit in different ways depending on which you use? I used DB's because that is what was called for on the workout card. Guess I'm just perplexed........................
