Did a bi’s and tri’s workout this past Friday a day after training shoulders, back, and quads. Normally, I wouldn’t train two days in a row without a rest day in between, but my CNS is getting a lot stronger and my body seems to be able to handle it.
Also, I only trained twice this past week because I didn’t sleep well on Sunday night, which ruined my Monday workout.
Anyways, I didn’t want to skip bi’s and tri’s together because when you train them synergistically, the end result is a really great pump.
The only problem is, I was a little overzealous and tried to cheat hurl 95 again, but my core wasn’t ready to stabilize that amount of weight standing, so while I got more reps than last time I tried it, my rhomboids took over toward the end and got a little tweaked, or strained.
This typically happens with stabilizer muscles that are working even when you don’t realize it. This is way trainers often emphasize the need to have a strong core before attempting certain movement patterns.
What you do if you tweak a muscle is you simply stop what you were doing and take a break, rest, and even discontinue that particular exercise in favor of a different one, which is what I did.
Tweaking my mid-back muscle caused me to have to sit down for the rest of my biceps training because it hurt too much to stand. Luckily for me, this was temporary and it improved rapidly. I was even able to do a short ab workout with the wifey the day after.
I also unbox this new ab roller I got off Amazon. No affiliate link here, just sharing my experiences.
