Chest and Back

The whole getting up early routine is not my "strength". But I manged to get up plenty early this morning to workout, clean the tub, stop my AC from rattaling and even found my headphones. That being said all the inspiration that I might have received from a certain person we will call her "Nicole" didn't prevent my body from disagreeing with the workout. I suffered big time from cramps this morning while doing the last sets of push-ups in the routine. My decline and diamond pushups (which are hard anyway) didn't go so well and I had to use some modifications to keep going. The cramp is basically from my lats through to my obliques on left side. I have added  pictures for reference.


 So besides that massive incovienece the rest of the workout was good. I can kinda do a decent amount of good looking pushups now. Using the bands for pullups makes it hard to compare but I will try to goto the gym and maybe test that out at somepoint. I need to mount the brackets I just havent figured out the best door frame to do that on or find a drill i can use to accomplish that task. But after the the initial workout I had to do abs as I do every monday, wednseday and friday. So I started that secondary workout with th e hopes my cramp wouldn't hurt me too much after a good stretch and I was veyr wrong. I would say it was a failure. So I skimped on abs one day. Not happy about it but clealry not devestated. I can't decide if this was a cramp from dehydration or just from sore muscles from the kenpo workout. My guess is the later. So I think next sunday depending on how I feel I will need to do some more agressive stretching make sure my body is ready for the coming week.
