Day 79 (Plyo), 80 (Back/Biceps)...Plyo is...fun?

Completed Plyo on Friday and Back/Biceps (+ Ab ripper) on Saturday.

I'm now having fun doing Plyo.  It isn't killing me anymore.  I mean, it is hard but not so hard that I feel like dying.  I no longer have to press the pause button.  Actually, I forgot to blog about Plyo last week.  And I think it started happening last week.  I've said it previously, but much of it is mental.  If you write out the names of the routines and see how it is broken up, you'll see that some exercises are really natural breaks.  And you can mentally prepare to get through the hard exercises knowing you are going to have those natural breaks.  I've learned that once I get through the first two blocks of four exercises (and really, it is about the reach squats followed by the jump switch pickups), the rest of the routine is downhill.  I no longer have any knee pain during the entire routine.

What can I say about Back/Biceps?  I'm now using 60 pounds for lawnmowers and a few more of the back exercises are seeing increased weights.  I'm not really being able to do more weight in the curls right now.  I'm also reaching a plateau with the pull ups.  For the strip set I'm doing 20 pounds twice and 15 pounds twice.  It is just too ridiculous to do 20-15-10-5.  Hopefully, I'll eventually be able to step that up to starting at 25.
