JUMP WORK and METABOLICS
2023 Round 3 Week 1 Metabolic Renewal Workouts, Phase 1 - restarting after illness
M. - Leg Workout 1A 2x11.5# dumbbells - did on Tues
W - Back/Chest Workout 1B 2x6.5# dumbbells
Fr - Arms/Shoulders Workout 1C 2x6.5# dumbbells


I tried to do both workouts on Monday without any pre-workout carbs. I did not have the energy to do the metabolic conditioning (and struggled to make it through the strength training). Did the Monday metabolic conditioning on Tuesday.

Finally pushed upper body weights high enough to fail at under 12 reps. Can’t quite talk myself into increasing lower body weights (doesn’t quite feel safe/stable).

Feeling a little warn out by Friday. Not sure whether Calories have been too low for too long to support performance or if all the recent dairy is detrimental for me.
