Quickie Arm Workout
I had to run back to work this evening, so I dropped in at the office gym for an arm workout. Because of what they had, it really wasn’t too bad of one. I started out with Smith machine shoulder presses (50×10, 50×10, 50×10) followed up by lateral raises (15×10, 15×9, 15×6). Next I went on to dumbbell curls (25×10, 25×8, 20×8), cable curls (40×10, 40×10, 40x) and then hammer curls on the cables (40×10, 40×10, 40×100). For triceps I did pulley pushdowns (40×10, 40×10, 40×10) and then 2-handed overhead dumbbell presses (45×10, 45×9, 45×6). Saturday I was using my favorite ab machine. It’s a clamshell type where you curl the upper body and raise the legs at the same time. This doesn’t bother my back, but boy does it over hit the abs. If I haven’t done them for a while (like recently) I get some sore abs the next couple of days. Getting up out of bed isn’t comfortable
, and the triceps pushdowns definitely were NOT comfortable, either. It reminds me how much I use by abs in that execise.
