Fat Loss III A2 -- Further trip into hell!

Today was Fat Loss III Routine A, the second trip around.  I felt alot stronger as I worked out.  I wonder if it had to do with the fact that the first time around was my re-feed day while this time was right after my re-feed day?

The workout stats:

 Exercise  Results (Weight/Sets/Reps)
 Deadlift     175 x 4 x 10
 Explosive Pushups  BW x 4 x 10
 Bulgarian Split Squats  20 x 3 x 10
20 x 1 x 11
 2 Point Bent Row 35 x 3 x 10
35 x 1 x 11
   
 Deadlift from a box  65 x 1 x 15
 Dumbbell Bench Press     35 x 1 x 20
 Walking lunges  20 x 1 x 20
 Seated Cable Row  60 x 1 x 20

I had to adjust on the second giant set becuase I misread the routine the first time around.  I was supposed to aim for 20 reps on each exercise in the second giant set.  I had to cut out one set because I was about to go over the 1 hour mark for my lifting workout and I never allow myself to go over 1 hour anymore.  Due to the wildfires here in California, the gym was really hot and the air was terrible.  I was having a really hard time breathing so the rest periods were about 1:30 instead of 1:00.  This contributed directly to the need to cut the workout short one set.

Overall, this time didn't feel nearly as hard as the last time.  I plan to up the weight on the initial deadlift sets next time and I'm aiming for BW x 4 x 11 on the Explosive Pushups.  I will try to add another set of 11 (a second one) to the Bulgarian Split Squats.  I will do the same with the 2 Point Bent Row.  The idea, as I always say, is to beat the previous workout.  It is a competition against your own results.  Nothing feels better than to beat your previous workout soundly.  It builds character and mental strength.
