I botched up the workout a bit today by not remember to hit the grocery store last night. The result was a really low pump level, as I was out of my usual pre-training food, so I had a handful of almonds instead. Add that to the fact that I trained several hours after eating. Not ideal…
Chest: DB incline presses (3×20,10,8–DP 3X); DB flyes (3×8–Xcen) ss Edge-gripping bench pushups (3×8 + X Reps)
Back: Chins (3×20,9,6–DP 3X); DB pullover (3×8–Xcen) ss DB stiff-arm kickbacks (3×8 + X Reps); Close-, parallel-grip DB rows (3×20,10,9–DP 3X); DB shrugs (3×20,15,12)
Abs: Planks (3×60 sec–Stat) ss Full-range crunches (3×15 + X Reps)
Note: My current split is based on the POF MMX Mega-Mass Workout in the new e-book MMX Fast Mega-Mass Workouts–the Max-Muscle X-pansion System.
Summary: It was a big shocker to wake up, head to the kitchen, and then remember that we were out of food. Okay, not really, but we didn’t have the light, protein-based foods I try to stick with before training. My punishment for being forgetful was a really low pump, but it was still better than nothing. Goes to show how important it is to have the proper fuel in your system, though, as I started running out of steam right when I normally get a second wind. Still did enough muscle damage, though, so as long as I make sure to get some quality food in me through the rest of the day, I’ll be set.
