Day 24: End of Round 2

Metabolic Surge: Round 2, Phase 3, Day 5

Hello Shredders.

This is Day 24 and hence the last day of my current (second) round of Metabolic Surge. After my yesterday’s realization moment that not only my camera is out of focus, I have kept my plan and went for the full body Pre Exhaust Superset Workout followed by HIIT on a stationary bike and even some extra steady state cardio.

The gym was very busy, so I had to perform two of the exercises in non-superset fashion with extra short rest. But I also felt it was a successful workout, mainly in the legs but also on the other body parts.

The Priority Principle

I also came to the conclusion that I should probably prioritize my biceps workout in the future. The priority principle says that you should do the weakest body part first. Weakest not in term of strength, but in terms of where you feel you need more work. I have occasionally skipped the Biceps and often felt kind of embarrassed when the gym was busy, because the weights that I use are so small compared to other people. Not that I would normally care what other people think, but it definitely influenced my actions in the past. Call me shallow. Technically I will have to check this first, as if I fatigue the biceps (arms in general) first thing in the workout I may have problems hitting the maximum performance with the following exercises, but I am sure with the right state of mind and planning prioritizing the  biceps will be possible. I could also have an extra workout for biceps and arms only for example. Even once a week would already be a big step forward.

Nutrition wise everything is going well. Since I put the MS schedule on the sidelines to catch up on other things, I don’t expect a very high energy expenditure during the next couple of days. This means I am going back to my normal TDEE calorie level on the baseline diet during that time. I don’t want to compromise the results I achieved so far with the Metabolic Surge workouts by overeating for days.
