7/16 Check-In

Weight: 191.4

Exercise: Morning HIIT Bike session, Evening Dynamic Upper Body weights. Tough day, my quads were really sore after from yesterday's bodyweight session (which included 5 sets of 18 bulgarian split squats per leg!), so they were really aching during the bike session. Fortunately the evening session was mostly upper body and is relatively quick, but it's a fast-paced training circuit that is crazy tough.

That being said, it is incredible how good my conditioning has gotten in the last few months. It is a lot harder to get my heart rate up during the bike session, and my HR drops a bunch really quickly during rest periods (which is usually seen as an indicator of cardiovascular health. Also, the evening dynamic session is a workout I have done an easier version of months ago, and I was barely able to complete it back then, and the much harder version is doable for me now (though still very tough).

Tomorrow should be a little easier, with a morning treadmill walk and an evening traditional full body workout. Would *love* to see 189 this week :).
