A New Beginning.
From now until the beginning of next year, my goal is to add more lean muscle. I’m currently upping my calorie intake. Today was the first day to stay on an eating schedule. My training is harder. I’ve discovered that although I thought I was pushing myself, I could still go heavier. But, having a great workout partner, my hubbie, is wonderful! On chest day it’s great to have him there to spot me. He’s so supportive and encouraging. I’ve decided to shoot for a local BB show, perhaps May/June 2008. I’ve found a fantastic trainer. So with a great trainer, and a wonderful supportive husband, my training has never been so fun.
Today I did back and cardio.
Wide Grip Pull Down; using the parallel grip bar: 2 sets warm up, 4 sets 6-10 reps
Wide grip Bent oveer Barbell Rows; overhand wide grip: 3 sets 6-10 reps.
Medium Grip Low Cable Rows; 3 sets 6-10 reps
Close Grip Lat Pull Downs; 3 sets 6-10 reps
2 Arm DB Rows; 3 sets 10-12 reps
Hyper Extensions; 4 sets 10-15 reps
Bent DB Laterals; standing: 3 sets 10 reps
Reverse Pec Deck; 4 sets 6-10 reps
30 minutes of cardio; tread mill, 2.8mph, 12% incline
I took No-Xplode before my workout, and CellMass immediately after lifting. Went home and had my whey protein with BCAA and Glutamine.

Hey, girlie! Scanned your blog. Looks like you got it together. Isn’t it great to have your hubby working out alongside you? I like to have mine near on leg days. Thanks to him I learned to do free squats. Before I had trouble balancing heavy weight on that bar….Keep pumpin’!
