Day 6: Back in Business

Well, I was right, my body and mind needed a bit of a respite from the gym and was much in need of a great night's rest.  Therein lies the problem of having so much on my plate that is so great and has so much to be excited for that I don't get enough sleep.

Today was a priority leg training day.  Go to this link to see the post on December 7th, 2014 for what I did and how effective it was.  Whew, it was a doozy, but well worth it.  No chicken legs for this man, thank you.

After an hour of leg priority training, I switched gears and jumped into some isometric pull exercises.  My theory behind this type of training is to develop sustained endurance, so that if I feel I'm dying out on a set of pull ups, I can literally hold a position, recover and continue on without incident.  This type of training gets the heartrate up and pumps the back and bis full of some nutrient rich blood.  I love that side effect, 'cause ain't gonna lie...big back equals awesome as hell!
