Oh baby! My back is sore from yesterday's workout. A good sore, but sore. I intentionally went at about 70% intensity yesterday and I'm still sore today. Here's a split I'm going to try for awhile. Monday Chest Delts cardio Tues cardio Wed Back Cardio Thurs Cardio Fri Arms cardio Sat Legs Cardio Sun Cardio I'll take a slug (rest day) when I feel the need. Cardio for me is not that intense, just walking so it's more for restoration than tearing me down. Got to go walk between the rain drops. Later. Earl

You guys keep me motivated too. I gotta keep up.

Thanks, I am really digging the cuircuts. I like that routine you suggested and will throw it in to keep things fresh, pick my two favorite moves per body part, cool beans Same with me Tuesday and tonight; I teach a class at corp and am drained and with the heat it is all about swimming. I will pick back up Thursday. You really do keep me motivated and I thank you for that. I think we could all "Do it" without having this place, but I sure do like having "Us" here. Mike

You da man! I really don't think I could do it in that heat. Good job Mike. Circuit training is supposed to be the best way to get more bang for the buck, especially for fat loss. You don't have to worry so much about cardio when you circuit train. There's a new guy out there that has a good idea. Just pick 2 exercises and go back and forth for 15 minutes non stop and try to break you total rep record each workout. Works good for arms like curls and pushdowns. Hell of a pump. It's supposed to keep the blood in the muscle and do what circuit training does for cardio. After those 2 exercises you rest a few minutes and pick 2 other bodyparts. Anyway, good workout Mike. You're kicking butt. (I didn't do anything Tues. I had to get up at 6 am for a training class at work then work all night. Kind of killed my day.)

Nice job; time to shake it up a little huh, me too. I am doing curcuits for the next six weeks, unless I really like it then I may just stick with em; until I need to shake it up a little again. 104 degrees in the gym tonight, yummy. only 114 today, I think it is a cooling trend. I am doing these with zero rest between sets.
