Very quick update today, as I am writing this in the last 30 minutes I'm at home before I head to the airport to fly to CA for most of the week.
I wanted to make sure I snuck in this workout before I left because hotels usually lack facilities to do pushups and pullups. And since I was questioned by the TSA one time for bringing this on board with me once (they asked me if it could be used as a weapon - I replied: "I suppose." I mean, seriously - you could turn anything into a weapon if you hit someone over the head with it - so what the hell kinda question is 'Could you use that as a weapon?'), I'm definitely not bringing a portable pullup bar with me. So I figured I'd do one of the back routines today, then I could save chest, shoulders and triceps for the hotel weight room, and then on Friday when I'm back home I could do the other back routine (biceps and back). Travelling will mean missing a pool workout, and possibly a yoga workout, unless I look to find one near where I'll be, and the class timing works out.
Anyhow - I didn't really look to increase the number of pullups this time around, because I could tell my biceps hadn't fully recovered from Thursdays Back & Biceps workout. One of those situations where I only feel sore when flexing my biceps (as opposed to the past couple days, where there was minor residual soreness that was always present). I did manage to eek out a couple more total, and in a couple sets I did manage to do the same number of pullups as last week, just without taking a midset break.
The only other major change is that I want to start adding weights to the side to side lunges. They don't feel intense enough anymore. And I could probably up the weight slightly for the calf raises - from 4 lb dumbbells to 2 kg (4.4 lbs).
