Too much of a good thing?



ROSALIND: Why then, can one desire too much of a good thing?
Come, sister, you shall be the priest and marry us.
Give me your hand, Orlando. What do you say, sister?

If you’re wondering where the above comes from, its Shakespeare's As You Like It. Like many of Shakespeare’s great quotes, they have been adopted into mainstream language.

The gym is no doubt a good thing, I  love it, since starting training for Kili I’ve been training roughly 6 days a week, and I can really see the benefit ive had to punch new holes in my belt, ive lifted more and pushed harder.

The reason I quote Shakespeare here is because, ive derived so much benefit in the last few weeks,  but I couldn’t help feeling really really tired today. The AR7 chest routine is a monster.

100 push up, 100 squats

7 Dips, 7 diamond push ups – repeat down to 5 then do 3 sets

Incline bench and flys follow the same pattern – 7,7,6,6,5,5

Flat Bench  wide superset with close grip does the 7,7,6,6,5,5

Once your over that, then, standing military presses with but you do 7, hold the bar up for 5 seconds (active rest) then work down to 5.

Then I see what the WOD is from the cross fit website and do that.

This is no doubt a good thing, I love the feeling of smashing a session like this, but man it’s taking its toll on its me as well.

So Mr Shakes, I kind of agree with you!
