Well, I was so desesperated to go to the gym today, that I decided to check some of the weights I plan to start with on Monday, my first day on the RTP Transformation System… I’m not sure about the diet, perhaps, I will try to start a little bit low on the carbohidrates… that really worked for me on my previous program, but I guess I have to check if it works right now with Adam’s program.
I arrived to the gym feeling a little bit hungry, but as soon as I put a foot over the threadmill for some warm up jogging, hunger disappeared, I was feeling great already… I took the first to pages of the RTP TS, with the compound exercises.. and decided to try the 20 reps on some weights and then a second set after 20 seconds just to see if I felt it the way it was supposed to be…. well… it was just a trial and it was TOUGH!! My heart was beating hard, I tried 30 kilograms for bench press and I got some very easy 25 reps… I rested 20 seconds and man, the next 13 reps were tough, my chest was burning already… I know for sure that I need to try 32.5 kgs to force the 20 reps… I then tried the bent over barbell rows… well, enough said it happened the same thing with the same weight but my heart was really really coming out of my chest… I WASN’T READY ON 20 SECONDS.. but tried the second set… anyway, I need to do 6 sets on Monday!! (don’t know how I’m going to make them)
I checked the weight for the triceps and calves… and then… leg press.. I know that I have to be careful with this exercise… I admit that I’m stronger than what my legs can handle right know, so, even if I can deal with more weight, I have to start on a moderate one that will prevent an injury… anyway, I need to make a smooth and continuous movement to get the actic lacid on the muscles, that’s what all this is all about.. so, I will try to open my eyes on this exercise to make the most wise decision…
Finally, while checking the stiff legged deadlift, I was seriously dizzy… OMG! I haven’t feel that in a long time… have you ever felt that? the want-to-vomit feeling you get when your breath is faster that you can’t handle… either I’m so out of physical endurance? or this compound-killer-series are really gonna kill me…. I GUESS BOTH… so.. I wrote everything on paper, and more or less know the weights I’m going to use on Monday…
Enough said… I’m gonna take my zero day picture and I hope I have the physical and mental strength to follow this program… so, I will post soon my starting stats…
