Day 45:Arms
Today I’ve got a very special guest staying with me, Edgar, a beautiful young dog I’ve fostered for a short period of time. I’d really love to keep one, especially Edgar, but I just can’t commit to the constant ownership at this point in my life. Anyway, I want to get to the gym, crush arms and get my cardio done so I can return home and spend some time with this dog.
We’re going to superset antagonistic muscle groups, biceps and triceps. Historically I’ve always liked to do this for arm day because it really fills the upper arm with blood, getting that fascia to stretch as much as possible.
I hope you’re doing your extra cardio every day now, twice a day along with your 300 twists each morning!
