Ok. I feel like I'm far enough past the beginning that I'll be doing this for a while so I thought I'd start a gym log.

First, a shout out to Built who inspired me, a 40-year-old, to get back into the gym. Yo, Built! Props to you!

Ok, enough of my "street persona."

So, I started out using Built's two-split beginner's workout but with a couple of minor modifications. I'm trying to keep it as much dumbell oriented as possible because we're soon to move into a house and unless I join a gym I won't have access to the machines. I may join a gym, but at least if I'm used to working with dumbells and a bench I have options.

So, Here's Workout 1
Abs

Center Crunches

Right Crunches

Left Crunches

Left Lifts

Reverse situps

Legs

Squats

Leg Extensions

Back

Dumbell Bent over rowing

Front Lat pull down

Shrugs

Biceps

Seated Alternating Curls

Drag Curls

Workout 2 is
Abs

Center Crunches

Right Crunches

Left Crunches

Left Lifts

Reverse situps

Legs

Split Squats

DM straight leg lifts (kill my hamstrings so good!)

Shoulders

Dumbell Lateral Raises

Dumbell Military PressesChest

Incline Dumbell Flys

Incline Dumbell presses (both of these are done laying down since I don't have an incline bench at the moment, just a flat one)

Triceps

Overhead tricept extensions

Dumbell Kickbacks

Tonight I added my cardio/resistance exercise of choice, rowing. I have a really nice Concept2 Model C rowing machine which has, unfortunately, been packed up until today. After today's workout, though, it's not staying packed up.

So, that's the intro to where I'm starting. I worked out last week and a day the week before, so I've been fiddling with the amount of weight and figuring out what gives me a workout without tearing anything.

Well, here I go!
