Killer Workout B to start the Working Week!

Just got back from the gym and can confirm that workout B is an absolute killer of a workout. I was hesitant about going this morning as I've been suffering from a bad back but thought I'd give it a go. After a gingerly start I thought it went quite well. I was a little disappointed with the performance on the bulgarian split squat with overhead press and chins combination. I was exhausted and had to take a longer than prescribed rest period at this stage. I found this combination hard the last time round but it felt especially hard this time round. Perhaps with me withdrawing off of carbs might have something to do with it and I'm perhaps feeling a tad tireder than I normally would. I'm sure (if this is the reason) that my body will adjust soon. Like I mentioned before, for a beginner it would take a maximum of 4 weeks to become completely accustomed to the change in diet. I would expect this process to be much quicker with me since I was already doing a low carb for most of the week on the previous phase. Therefore I wouldn't have expected to have felt any big drops in energy etc.

Will be cycling to work soon and I hope topping up the tires with air should make a difference since they were down quite a bit when I checked them at the weekend. I have some minor adjustments to make on my new bike (mainly on my rack and panniers) and then I should be using that as much as I can to break everything in and then take it to the bike shop for its first service and adjustment / tensions resetting. This should take about 3 to 4 weeks but as the weather hasn't been great I've been putting off using the new bike. Silly I know as it needs to be used.

Well my last post said that my weight might rise slightly over the weekend, and whilst I haven't weighed myself I'm pretty sure that this is what has happened. So the expectation this week is to continue the training and cycling and see what happens. I'm by no means expecting results comparable with the first week's falls, but I would hope that a 2lb fall each week is comfortably achieveable. I'll keep you updated.

Cheers, BustaGut!
