Notes: This is a tough little workout, dammit. I have to admit to thinking it would be easier going in. All exercises but the leg swoop are easily accessible to me on all 4 levels, and I think I’ll up them to level 4 for the next round. The leg swoop itself is accessible to me at Level 3, but I can’t do it more than a few times in a row, so I lowered the difficulty to 2 and found that even too difficult after the second superset. Third superset was done half at Level 2 then half at Level 1, followed by supersets 4 and 5 at Level 1. This is fine with me. Pushing it with this exercise seems to put undue strain on my right knee, and since I only recently completely rehabbed from that popliteal cyst behind said knee, I think I’ll be fine with Level 1 for the time being. Even with that, it is still a lung-burner of a workout. Rested 3 minutes between supersets as directed. RP-TED - 8.5,8.5,3. In terms of nutrition, it was another IF day - A couple cups of green tea in the AM, then an apple post-workout, leftover chicken, rice, and black beans about 30 minutes after my shower. Then a couple handfuls of mixed nuts after work and some grapes, followed by a couple Sierra Nevada beers and my famous Turkey Chili after. Ceased drinking and eating at 8 pm.
