Arms+Abs

     Hit arms and abs yesterday. Once again I placed the emphasis on my triceps rather than my biceps. I was hoping to get in some cardio but had too much work to do so I left the gym early. Lately I've been playing around with higher-intensity workouts. From what I've experienced, I really enjoy total body workouts and short rest breaks. I'm going to try out intermittent fasting and fasted cardio again when I begin the serious cut. These first five weeks were primarily back to get into athletic shape and add on a small amount of size. The cut comes next. Anyway, here is the workout:

Workout:
1) Close-Grip Bench
-1x20 w/ 135
-5x10 w/ 185

2) Single-Arm Overhead Cable Extensions
-5x12 w/ 35 lbs.

3) EZ-Curls
-4x6 w/ 115 lbs.

4) Skullcrushers
*I cannot perform this movement in the same way that most people do. I have to move the entire system (consisting of my arms) back in order to not feel pain in my elbows. By essentially performing the movement behind (or above, depending on how you look at it) my head, I feel no pain. Give it a try.
-3x10 w/ 85
-1x8 w/ 95

5) Tricep Pushdowns
-5x15 w/ 100 lbs.

6) Hanging Leg Raises
-4x10

7) Cable Crunchces
-2x10 w/ 62.5 lbs.
-4x10 w/ 75 lbs.

8) GHD situps
-3x12
