Weights 4/18
Same as always. I’m upping the amount of weight every time, which is great. First I warmed up with 2 sets of leg lifts. 10 to each side, hold for 10 on the last, then 25 forward lifts (sorry I don’t know the technical names!) I got the rest of my workout from http://www.howsweeteats.com/ Workout #1 – UPPER BODY BLAST! Combo 1: Complete one set of each exercise, then repeat for a total of 2 sets. 12 repetitions of each. Lat Pulldowns (60lbs) Dumbbell Chest Flyes (17.5, 20lbs) Side Lateral Shoulder Raises (7.5lbs) 10 pushups Combo 2: Complete one set of each exercise, then repeat for a total of 2 sets. 12 repetitions of each. Seated Row (70lbs) Dumbbell Chest Press (20lbs) Bent Over Rows (20lbs) 10 pushups Combo 3: Complete one set of each exercise, then repeat for a total of 2 sets. 12 repetitions of each. Overhead Shoulder Dumbbell Press (12.5lbs) Triceps Dips Biceps Curls (12.5lbs) 10 pushups I finished with one more set of the leg lifts, then a minute and 10 second plank hold. Note: In the original workout, it was 25 pushups, but I acknowledge I am not that strong, so I cut it back. Also, the bent over rows were originally overhead triceps extensions, but those cause discomfort in my shoulders, so I changed it to another triceps exercise. And, in parenthesis are the weights I used.
