Tabata Intervals : Day 27 (Barbell Arms)

Un-tensed

Full Body Shot

Today is the first time I did an arm Barbell workout at my brothers house. I used the 25kg weights again (including the bar itself) and decided I’d do 15 lifts of 5 seconds up and 5 seconds down. The problem was, I kept on resting. In the future I will pick a weight like 25kg and earn arm workout day, try for 15 reps of 5 seconds up and 5 seconds down repetitions. When I have done this, add another 5kg weight.

Todays form was

Bicep Curls with 25kg Barbell – 15 all complete

Pushups – 7

Difficulty of about 6.5/10

My push-ups were 5 seconds up and 5 seconds down too. I think I’m going to enjoy the 5 seconds routine because it really works your limits and makes more sense than pushing out 100 reps at just 1 second.

Tomorrow is legs workout, I think I’ll need a bit more than 25kg. 2 weeks today until I get my own weights. My brother has a workout bench and some more weights now too. We will have a little gym going before long enough.
