A LITTLE LATE BUT…
Here is a recap from Monday’s journal. I will be hitting legs and abs after work tonight.At least I got back into the gym today. I think I finally have my schedule worked out so that I can hit it after work. To be honest, trying to get up @ 4am to hit the iron before going to work was part of my problem. I did it for a whole year but got out of the routine and just could not get back at it. Maybe this will help me.
As far as what “program” I will be doing that is still up in the air. I have really been intrigued by the Body For Life workouts and am leaning toward them for now. I tried my best to do the entire upper body workout today but fell short of my goal. My shoulders were noodles after the 6 sets of DB’s for chest and the 6 sets of DB for back. I skipped the delt portion of the workout entirely and only completed two sets for biceps before throwing in the towel (I guess you could call it a throw - my arms were shot).
I am still trying to fine-tune my feedings. With working out later in the day I will have to shuffle things around a little but I am using this week as a trial run to try to get all the bugs worked out. Wish me luck.
Here is my measly attempt at a workout today. It can only get better, right?
Five minute warm-up on treadmill.
DB Bench Press - 12 @ 40, 10 @ 45, 8 @50, 6 @ 50, 12 @ 35, followed by 1 set of Incline DB flyes, 10 @ 25
One Arm DB Rows - 12 @ 30, 10 @ 35, 8 @ 40, 6 @ 45, 12 @ 40, followed by 1 set of Seated Cable Rows, 12 @ 115
EZ bar Preacher Curls - 12 @ 20, 10 @ 25 then I ran out of gas. Finished with bench dips for triceps doing sets of 12, 10, 8, and 6.
Topped off the day with a quick 10 minute run on the treadmill.
