Today was another semi-brutal arse kicking. I mean WHOA!

-overhead barbell press 5 sets

-chin ups 5 sets-THIS TOTALLY KICKED MY BUTT FOR THE REST OF THE MORNING! It was so hard!

-Incline dumbbell press 4 sets

-kneeling high anchor rowing 4 sets

-push ups. Oh my hello! I already turned my upper body into spagetti from the chin ups. Let's just say it was 3 very shaky sets.

-seated cable rows 3 sets

-tricep exercises

-bicep exercises.

I chose to sprint for 30 minutes again. Bad idea. Sore knees and quads but I have some powerful explosion! - if it doesn't sound conceited to say so. I can kick up a 5 minute mile and power punch it before I interval down. I love intervals. This is otherwise known as HIIT. I like the way this article describes it if you are interested in a little read

Side note. I never said anything about this, but about 5 weeks ago I did some user testing and project study for athlete.com. I can't lawfully tell you everything I did and tested, but it was awesome. Their site is on it's way for a revamp and will probably end up rivaling the other running blogs out there. It will be interesting to see how it is implemented.

Tough workout! I would be worthless after one set of chin-ups. Your trainer seems like he/she knows what they are doing!
