This week went well. I'm really enjoying the rotation that I've set up. I do two days on, two days off, one day on, one day off. That means this week I hit the gym on Sunday and Monday then rested on Tuesday and Wednesday, worked out again on Thursday, rested on Friday, now I'll be in the gym Saturday and Sunday. Those two-day rest periods really feel like a vacation! Plus, this allows me to alternate which of my two workouts -- the pushing routine or pulling routine -- gets used just before a two day rest. All of this translates into more rest for the muscles. And as you may know, muscles grow when they're resting, not when they're working.
I start Week 4 tomorrow. I'm excited about the fact that I'll have completed one month of my six-month challenge before the new year arrives. No wimpy New Year's resolution for me. I'll be well on my way by January 1! Maybe I'll post some pics to commemorate the end of my first month at the end of next week.
