Here's what I did today at the gym:
- 15 min warm up on elliptical
- chest press:
- set 1 - bar + 10 lbs each side, 12 reps
- set 2 - bar + 12.5 lbs each side, 10 reps
- set 3 - bar + 15 lbs each side, 8 reps
- set 4 - bar + 10 lbs each side, 12 reps
- dips with the assisted machine:
- set 1 - no assistance, 7 reps - I barely made it back up on the 7th
- set 2 - 4 - 10 lb assistance, 8 reps
- circuit, 3 sets each (my arms started during the 2nd set):
- chest press on bench with (2) 20 lbs free weights, 12 reps
- chest fly on bench with (2) 15 lbs free weights, 12 reps
- 12 push ups, slow -- On the 3rd set, I failed at rep 7. I stayed in plank for about 10 seconds and tried to continue but failed again at rep 9. I figured I was good on this, so I moved on.
- circuit, 3 sets each:
- front shoulder raises, (2) 8 lbs free weights, 8 reps
- side shoulder raises, (2) 8 lbs free weights, 8 reps
- bent over tri extension, (2) 10 lbs free weights, 12 reps
- abs, 3 sets each:
- crunches on medium sized ball with feet at 90 degree angle on the wall; 1 set = 12 regular crunches, 12 side crunches with right elbow touching left knee, 12 side crunches with left elbow touching right knee
- 12 toe touches with feet in the air, 12 toe touches with knees bent 90 degrees = 1 set
- reverse crunch then windshield wipers = 1 rep, 8 reps per set
- 15 minute stretch
My body is definitely not used to all this. I did weights when I was training for the tri, but it was never a focused workout where I worked on 2 or 3 main areas for an hour +. Let's see how I feel tomorrow. Hopefully I won't feel so sore that I can't even brush my hair!
