Maybe lunges ARE fine for hamstrings? Experts. I feel like they really work the whole leg anyway. Deadlifts would probalby be better for an isolated movement, no? Any experts a foot?
UBWO today... woo! I love upper body. Nice coordination at the gym too. I'm becoming less afraid of offering others my machines and sharing, etc. so things are working out. I figure if you make it clear you're just resting in between sets people do their set and rest as well.
Okay... today's workout:
For clarity, all reps are 12/10/8/6/12/12 unless otherwise stated
I double the weight of dumbells to indicate full weight
Chest:
Incline press machine- 24/36/48/60/48
Fly machine- 50
Back:
Biangular lat pull machine- 36/48/60/72/60
Lat row machine- 60
Shoulders:
Shoulder press machine- 24/36/48/60/ six reps at 48, six at 36
Deltoid raise machine- did six reps at 24 and six reps at 12
Triceps:
Extensions with free weights (sometimes standing, sometimes lying on a bench, depending on availability)- 16/20/24/30/24
Kickbacks (free)- 24
Biceps:
Curls (free)- 16/20/24/30/24
Preacher curls (free)- 24
This was NICE and hard. Looks like my shoulders are pretty weak. I suppose it's advisable to start at a lower weight next week for those. Is the way I handled my muscles failing good? I like to do the full number of reps and lower the weight rather than quitting because it's too heavy.
Soo.... I feel like I've been cheating my midsection a little so I did a little bit of ab work. So SUE me.
Did 15 back extensions at 85 pound weights on a machine.
Did 20 vertical hip raises and 20 incline sit ups.
Drank an Isopure and ate half an apple immediately following workout.
It's funny how working out just becomes something you do once you get into the swing of it. It's no longer, "Uh, I guess I'll go to the gym," it's like, "Yeah, of course I'm going to the gym... that's what I do." Anyway, I like that it's part of my life now. Feels great.
