Yesterday was day 1 of my new challenge! I started with the following workout, but did not reach failure on any of them, so will definately be upping the reps and/or lbs next workout!

Chest Press: 6 sets of 8 ~ 20lbs (will up the reps to 12)

Incline Press: 6 sets of 8 ~ 15lbs (will up the reps to 10)

Inlclined Chest Fly: 6 sets of 8 ~ 10lbs (will do flat back next time & up the reps to 10)

Dumbbell Curls: 5 sets of 8 ~ 12lbs (will up the reps to 9)

Preacher Curls: 5 sets of 8 ~ 12lbs (will up the reps to 9)

I plan to do cardio 2x a week (TU/TH), but not with this heat!

-Judy, thanks for noticing the new pic! (It use to be a Garfield head ) I don't have any real body statistics for BFL, as the measurements I took have been lost. I could've sworn I had posted them, but I can only find my bloodwork stats. My bench press stats are posted below.

D1 (UBWO)////D66 (UBWO)
DB bench press: 12reps ~ 8#s////12reps ~ 15#s
...........................10reps ~10#s////10reps ~20#s
...........................8reps ~ 15#s////8reps ~ 25#s
...........................6reps ~ 15#s////6reps ~ 30#s
...........................12reps ~ 20#s//12reps ~ 25#s
DB Flyes.............12reps ~10#s///12reps ~ 15#s

This exercise saw the greatest change in strength, though I am happy to report that I was at least 3lbs stronger in all my exercises!

I am looking forward to getting back into a routine for strenth training. My chest and biceps aren't so sure after yesterdays workout (and I didn't even reach failure-don't tell them what is really in store for them ). Tomorrow is back and triceps.
