first night down!

I know the weights were supposed to go up (mostly)
bu mine kept going doooooown

*snort* the push ups

noooooooooooooo
started on toes, nope, knees?, uhuh, bench?! one or two, then wall
yup
there were wall push ups
at one point I think I got stuck on the wall

at least my form was good

I think.....
I was too busy sweating

at first I was annoyed with all the water breaks.
by the end?
not so much

swearing on twitter

Hahaha too funny, I your sense of humour! I can't wait to read more!

(*snort*) This is great!

BTW, I don't do dips either; I sub in any triceps exercise, usually overhead extensions with one dumbbell or side-lying triceps pushups.

[NoraKate]

frustrated sound of nffffffff!!!!!!

apparently I ordered an inclined weight bench

*face palm*

legs in an few hours

[NoraKate]

legs!
drippy sweaty

He doesn't so slow enough for me to go reeealy heavy

bummed

but still worked out


the step up with reverse lunge....
wee bit of a balance problem there for me
The nice, I'm over 40, crunchy knee noise showed it's self

up*creeeekcrackle*
down*cracklecreeek*


yay! got through it!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN 20 MIN LEFT?!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhgh!
*drip*
*find towel*
*attempt to remove feline from towel*
*fail*
*use the corner I can reach and get a face full of fluff*


the giant set.
logistical nightmare for me
it's:
Parallel squat
Bulgarian squat
and a deadlift that was a whole other thing

setting up safely for a bulgarian squat takes me too much time to use in a giant set

what he was calling a straight leg deadlift...baffled me
I tried
lets just say that, if I were a guy, the mishap while lifting the bar between my legs would have me singing soprano and doubting the possibility of future offspring.

I replaced it with a regular straight legged deadlift and cranked the weight

In the future I'll have to split the giant set up


at this point all is fried and the little sense of balance I have was apparently used up with the step up/reverse lunge
(I'm so splitting those up next time too)
the single leg calf raises involved grabbing the wall

so...
not as much swearing
but more bafflement

more tomorrow....

The last time I did a Body Beast rotation, I only did the cardio workout a handful of times because the leg one had my heart rate so high that I decided to count it as strength and cardio

I love reading your thoughts on the different workouts

Same here. Those step-ups into rear lunge from Build and the front-to-rear lunge in Bulk are KILLER and come early enough in the workout that my HR got up and stayed up.

I am totally in the minority here but I bought beast twice and sold it both times. Sagi just drove me nuts. I couldn't stand his comments.

good luck to you.

ahhhhh
the DOMS

feeling the chest and tri workout

shower this morning was an adventure

legs are just wobbly and right knee is ...displeased
possibly too many lunges

I'm on the fence about the legs workout

I'll try it again as scheduled and split up the giant set

and did i mention DOMS?
