BodyBeast Phase 1 Build Week 2 Day 1

Thanks a million Craig  

I'm with you with everything you said - that's just how I felt/feel!!!

And to have you along to share the pain with would be awesome thank you.


Phase 1 Build Week 2 Day 1 (actual week 2 day 1 but beast week 2 day 2 hmmm?? maybe stick to beast weeks?  )

Build legs - oh how we all look forward to leg day  

It went much better for me today, kept up better with far less pausing needed.
Although they all seem to go just a little bit faster than me grrrr

I kept the weight the same for Sumo's as that gave me knee pain last week so I watched my form and all is good.

Lunges and Step up lunges I got much better this week and although very little weight I did increase each set unlike last week where I crashed and burned and had to drop the weights to finish  

I really feel the parallel squat is too light on its own but because of the horrible horrible Bulgarians that follow I daren't go too high! But I did much better than last week so pleased with that.

The calf raises I did more reps and ooh feel that burn  and increased my in and outs significantly so overall feel really good.

I followed it up with TH's 10 minute Trainer Yoga flex. I've not done it before but felt a quick stretch might also help the muscles. It's goes much quicker than I'm used to but overall nice to stretch all the bits out.

I even foam rolled my quads for a few minutes just for good measure  and I didn't get the 'painful walk down the stairs - oh god that's gonna hurt tomorrow' feeling afterwards so I'm hoping for much less doms. I really hope that not famous last words.
