6 weeks in the books
Finished week 5 heavy day, strong. week 6 heavy day, got through the first 4 sets and had to re-strategize as I knew I wasn't going to make it the way the complex is drawn out.
Decided it was going to take me 65 seconds each to do the last 2 sets + 90 seconds rest would equal 220 seconds. With 10 exercises left, I needed to start a next exercise every 22 seconds. I was able to do the clean/press/squat that way, but needed to take a few more seconds rest to do the push presses and squats. Finished set 5, rested for 15 seconds, did the clean press squat, rested 30 seconds an finished with the last 2 exercises.
Figured it would have taken me 65 x 6 = 390 seconds. or 6:30 of work + 5 rest periods of 90 = 450 or 7:30 minutes. of resting.
7:30 + 6:30 is. 14:00. When I finished the 6 sets, the stop watch said 15:30. My heart was racing through the ROOF! Around 180
So from a complex standpoint, I failed the 6 sets, but from a density standpoint I did all the reps with 90 seconds extra
time doing the last 2 sets Rest/Pause style.
I've done this before with the Long Haul and The Basic from MKM at the end of the programs. Reps are better and because rest period are shorter, I'm not tightening up with lactic acid like I would sitting there for 90 seconds.
The lesson learned is, don't. fast the day before and get more carbs than you think you need. pre-workout. Last Friday after a day off on Thursday, I got through the 5 sets pretty easily.
Nice work! What kind of changes in body comp are you seeing at this point?
