Going heavier
I decided to test out my progress and see how much more weight I could handle on a couple machines today..and I think I went up too much!! For seated rows I went up from 70 to 90 (usually I do that one last, and I did it 3rd so I wasn’t as tired as usual so that’s why the big jump)…I did a couple sets then went down to 80…seemed ok, so I went on to lat pull downs. I usually do this one on 70 and I went up to 80..I managed it ok, did my 3 sets…when I finished those, I went to do bicep work and started with dumbell curls… Holy crap my right forearm hurt!!! It felt like my blood vessel in it was gonna burst or something. It was a sharp pain, and I couldn’t even do 1 set, I had to rest for a minute before completing the curls. Then I went to do barbell curls, and my elbow was hurting..I haven’t had anything like this happen before when lifting…I was able to finish doing all the reps and sets I wanted to do, so the pain went away, it must have been the heavier weight load..
I am getting impatient to see my biceps more defined than they are!..they pop out when I am lifting the barbell, but they are not really visible otherwise yet..I have more fat to burn..I am still eating right, but I did have some m&m’s the last couple days. Not a lot, just a few..the dark chocolate ones are good for you because of the antioxidants in them..at least that is my excuse to myself why it’s ok to eat them..lol!
