Yesterday I began my first Blitz program and was quite impressed. As of late I have been "Testing the waters" of many different endurance programs and for once I feel like I might have found one suitable for me. What I enjoyed most about the program is that the workouts are short and simple, however they do not compromise intensity.

I have decided to do a split routine with three areas of concentration; Core, upper body, and legs. I plan on doing each superset twice a week with Sundays off for total recoup. Yesterday was an upper body day. I did lat pull downs, benchpress, military press, shrugs, preacher curls, forearm curls and tricep pull downs. For the most part my maximum lift divided by 3 was tough, however I did have to add weight to the bench and tricep pull downs. Since I generally bench for repetition and not so much weight I kind of expected this. Regardless the weight had to be increased for me to be smoked towards the end of the exercises.

Moving along. Today will be a leg day. I have not yet decided on the exercises but it will not be intensive as my core and U.B. workouts because I will have to continue running on a regular basis for training purposes. I understand that it is not recommended so I plan on keeping them as short as possible and will schedule around my leg blitz. Since I ruck and run quite a bit I'm hoping no problems will arise. Next post will be one week from today I look forward to it.

Intensity builds immensity,
