How To Get Ripped Abs Challenge – Day 11
It’s Thursday Day 11 on my How to Get Ripped Abs Challenge and it’s business as usual. I am now finally waking up in the morning and not feeling sore all over my body. It’s nice to not have to limp around the house like a broken old man. I was getting a little worried that maybe I was biting off more than I could chew and at the age of 38 my body just wasn’t going to recover like it did back 20 years ago. Well needless to say it will never recover again like it did 20 years ago but I am happy to finally getting through that initial soreness.
How to Get Ripped Abs challenges you every single workout. One thing I love is that I can print out my workout logs, throw it on a clipboard and easily follow along and just log my weight and reps. Every single workout I make sure that I am either increasing the weight or doing more total reps. I really haven’t had to increase the weight on any of the exercises though because I just keep pushing myself to hit more reps each workout. When you walk out of the gym you have worked every muscle in your entire body within 40 minutes. This is what causes such a huge metabolic afterburn effect throwing your metabolism up into the stratosphere for the rest of the day.
This was my third time to perform workout A. There are a couple exercises like the single leg ball curl that are very difficult for me and last week when I did the workout the first time I was only able to do 3 sets of 5 or a total of 15 reps. On my third attempt at this workout I was able to hit a set of 9,8,6 for a total of 23 reps. I’m improving quickly and just need to keep pushing myself. How to Get Ripped Abs will have you doing exercises you have probably never done before. The exercise manual does an excellent job showing a picture and description of each exercise. I bring this with me on my clipboard for a reference during my workouts. If you are used to the traditional raw iron like I am these will challenge your body to new levels.
Once again I felt like Jello after my workout and practically had to crawl out of the gym. If I keep pushing this hard I’m going to need someone to take me out in a wheelchair pretty soon. Overall a great day again and stayed right on plan with the nutritional program.
