Triceps and Shoulders - NEW Record
Today I did my workout of shoulders and triceps in the morning. One of my long standing favorite, but feared triceps exercises is the seated triceps press. (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exercises.php?Name=Seated+Triceps+Press). I was able to get 135lbs today for about 6 reps. I might have been able to get 2 more, but I didn’t have a spot today, so I didn’t risk it. I felt like I could go up even more, but I am a little catious, because it is already seeming to be a dangerous weight. This exercise will always leave my triceps sore the next day. In my opinion it is the best tricep mass building exercise. I do them with elbows flared, which reduces the joint stress.
I also managed to put up 185lbs for 4 reps on the behind the next press for shoulders. I finally started keeping tracking of workouts and writing down each workout last week, so my plan is now to start adding on small amounts of weight each time. I am going to try to gain muscle mass while cutting, so far I have been successful, but I am not sure if that can continue.
Also busted my butt on cardio today. I did intervals at 2 min 6mph, 1 min 10 mph and finished off with a minute of 12 mph for a minute. Total time was 18 minutes. I will start adding in more cardio and probably a second session as weight loss decreases towards the end of the 12 challenge.
