A Change of Pace!

Just wanted to give a quick update of the session I've just had at the Gym. My NROL book has gone missing so I've ordered an electronic version on CD to replace it. Whilst I'm waiting for it I needed to change the current program as I'd been doing it for a few weeks and the plan was to try and regain some of the cv that has been lost due to a slower paced strength initiative that I was pursuing and then I got injured had a forced layoff and the recent recovery sessions that I've been active with. So basically I'm saying that the tempo and intensity of the training has been low for some time and it is this aspect that needed to be addressed.

So I looked through some of my old training sessions and was lucky enough to find the NROL Break In Sessions that I did. So I thought that since this is very similar to the Fat Loss I sessions then this would be a good starting point especially with no book to reference. If I remember rightly I think the book even suggests by passing Fat Loss I after the Break In sessions as they are so similar. So I wont be going far wrong. So how did I find the change of pace and intensity? Very Hard actually. I did complete the session in just under 18mins so compared to the 1hr 30mins I'd been doing with the recovery sessions there is a massive difference. Some of the weights will need to be adjusted (slightly lower) since my form of the exercises are now much better the range of motion the weights travel through is much greater so in effect I'm doing more work. When I first started the Break In sessions the exercises range was smaller so weight travelling much less. So in order to ensure I don't cheat I'd rather get the weight right although I need to make sure that I'm still only just getting the reps out.

I must admit it feels strange getting out of the gym so quickly again it's like when I first started TNT. You have this feeling like you haven't done enough. But you have. As far as the shoulder goes it was fine a few little twinges here and there but nothing to really worry about. Besides I really didn't have the time to let it bother me. I'll be having a go at the workout B later on in the week so I'll hopefully let you know how that session goes as well.

Cheers, BustaGut!
