I have no idea why or how, but the Katanas tonight were a 0 rep failure for me. I grabbed our lowest level band, got into position and... that was about it. I'm confident my brain told my muscles to contract and my arms to move, but they didn't... not a budge. I struggled and wiggled through a couple, but simply couldn't do it with the band, much to Susan's amusement. She headed to the kitchen and pulled out a couple of soup cans so I could do the proper motion / count. I'm at a total loss - I've been do the dips with straight legs from the moment they showed up...
Anyway, other than the damn katanas, I thought today's routine was a bit of a break. Squats were a breeze and I gave up on finding failure just because I wanted to move to the next exercise. The rest of the work was a our standard fare, and even the v-sits were too torturous.
Only jumps tomorrow and a look at the next set of grams... I'm curious to see where I'll end up this week. The preparing and eating is beginning to be my hardest part of PCP...
I find the V-sits torturous too!
ReplyDeleteThat's weird about the Katana - there's no way you don't have the strength for them... maybe the band was just confusing your arms? Anyway, soup cans is a good idea!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you need a longer band.
ReplyDeleteI was confounded. I've watched Ian workout. His arms are well-rounded, strength-wise. He can shred all the other arm exercises. It was very odd.
