Talk about a fantastically fierce Friday workout! I woke up anxious to get to the gym, not only because I was motivated to hit the weights, but also because I was in a 10-minute series of lucid dreams after my alarm before finally getting out of bed. Some whacky stuff going on in that head of mine, so I was happy to wake up and with a whole lot of WTH going on in my mind…
Legs: Squats (2×12,10); Sissy squats (1×12); Leg extensions (2×15,12); Stiff-legged deadlifts (2×12,10); Leg Curls (2×12,10)
Calves: Donkey calf raises (2×25,20); One-legged calf raises (2×15,12)

Triceps: Extensions (2×12); Overhead extensions (1×12); DB kickbacks (1×12)
Note: My split is based on the Phase 2 routine in The X-traordinary Size Surge Workout 2.0 e-book.
Fierce Friday Workout Summary
It was a weird wakeup this morning. I don’t often remember dreams, but my alarm went off at 5:30 a.m. and I must’ve been tired, as I continued to “sleep” for about 10 minutes. It felt like an hour with the number of lucid dreams I had in that time span. Not sure if I ate something weird last night or what, but it was almost comical. Anyway, it led to a great workout as I was happy to finally jump out of bed and hit the gym. Strength was up a bit already, which is why some of the rep numbers are higher than Monday. The low number of sets combined with slightly higher rep ranges than prescribed in Size Surge is a great combo for me right now. Intense burn and some serious muscle swell going on. Only three workouts into Phase 2 and my strength is jumping quickly. That’s a good sign that things are moving along as they did for my first foray into the SS routine. That means Phase 1 set the state and muscle size should soon follow with Phase 2.
