PHUL Training, Day 4

Wow, today... just wow.

I always knew my upper body was far weaker than my lower body, but I had no idea how much! Doing the high reps today on all the upper body exercises, even at relatively low weights, really wrecked me. To top it all off, I'm not even sure I fully recovered from the Day 1 workout (my triceps have been sore all week since then).

This plan is definitely going to take some time to get used to. What did it take, about 1 or 2 weeks of doing StrongLifts before I felt like I hit my groove? Hopefully this will be the same.

Tomorrow is lower body day again. I expect to have no problems with it at all except perhaps some coordination issues with the barbell lunge. I mean it, last time I tried it I fell on my arse because I'm such a clutz.

Oh well, practice makes perfect.
