Gym post- Skip it

This is just for my own recording/accountability purposes so please skip this unless you like reading about gym work-outs!!

I'm trying a new work-out while Race is gone and I'm going to record it here. It most likely won't make much sense to anyone but me anyway! I work out at home so this gives me a little more accountability if I make myself post the work-outs here and this way I can look back and tell what actually works for me and what I need to change. I'll just tell you when that's what it's going to be so you can skip it. ANd it WON'T take the place of my regular post.

SAturday-Upper body: 3 sets of 12 giant set..no rest

Objective: work to muscle failure as quickly as possible to keep up heart rate while still executing each lift correctly. 48 hrs rest before working same muscle group again. Pre work-out shake 1 scoop protein powder+ small amnt carbs +skim milk+ice. Post work-out shake 2 scoops protein powder 1/2 banana skim milk +ice.
