August 6th Update – Shoulders, Abs & Evening Ride
This morning I started with a 10-minute warmup on the incline treadmill before hitting a solid shoulder & abs session:
- Shoulder Press (machine): 5 sets – 20, 15, 12, 10, 8 reps
- Lateral Raises (dumbbells): 5 sets – 20, 15, 12, 10+2DS, 10+2DS reps
- Front Raises (barbell): 5 sets – 15, 12, 10, 10, 10 reps
- Rear Delt Fly (incline bench): 4 sets – 15, 12, 12, 12 reps
- High Pulley Crunches: 4 sets – 30, 20, 20, 20 reps
- Hanging Leg Raises (ab chair): 4 sets – 20 reps
Later in the afternoon, I went out for a road cycling session. Here are the stats from Garmin:
- Duration: 1h35min
- Distance: 40 km (approx, based on average speed)
- Average Speed: 25.3 km/h
- Max Speed: 74 km/h
- Average HR: 121 bpm (max 141 bpm)
- Average Power: 158 W (max 786 W)
- Calories burned: 1037 kcal
- Stamina: from 99% to 78%
Overall, a balanced day combining hypertrophy work for shoulders & core with endurance/cardio in the evening. Feeling the fatigue but staying on track with the cut and pushing forward step by step.
