So while I haven't posted here on the blog, I have been working out. But as usual, life has been crazy. Let's see, I'll start with last Thursday: I ran my 3.64 mile loop and it went alright. I did it in my regular Asics.
Friday: I did chest and back. As I said in my previous post, I was having issues with incline barbell presses, so I thought I'd start with them and see how it went. And if paid off, I was able to do three sets with 40 lbs in each hand. So here was my workout:
1. Incline dumbbell bench press, 40 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets.
2. Flat dumbbell bench press, 40 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets.
3. Decline dumbbell bench press, 40 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets.
4. Machine row, 120 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets.
5. Machine Lat pull down, 100 lbs, 10 reps, sets.
Saturday, Sunday, and Monday- I didn't do anything! I know, but I never claimed I was perfect.
Tuesday: I ran my 2.3 mile loop in my Asics. I did it in about 28 minutes, and I just felt like crap.
Wednesday: I worked on shoulders:
1. Lateral raise, 15 lbs, 10 reps, 1 set; 10 lbs, 10 reps, 2 sets. I really liked this exercise because I felt it in my lats as well when I was bring the weight slowly down.
2. Dumbbell shrug, 50 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets.
3. Dumbbell diagonal raise, 10 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets.
4. Ez-bar curl, 40 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets.
5. Ez-bar preacher curl, 40 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets.
6. Barbell squat, 50 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets.
7. Kneeling cable crunch, 200 lbs, 25 reps, 3 sets.
And today, I decided to take a break from running and give my joints a break. So I cleaned the bike up and took the little monkey with me. I hooked up the bike trailer, stuck the monkey in it and rode 10 miles in about 54 minutes. Now I know what you all are thinking- but that's 5 miles less than you usually do in that time. But then, I'm not usually towing 40 lbs worth of trailer and giggling, book reading child. And let me tell you- it made a difference going up. All told, I wish I could have gone faster, but I think I did pretty well.
So that's the last week.
