End of week one! Day 7
No w/o today, second day off for the week BUT tomnorrow I get to add set two to each exercise using 3 pound weights for the second set along with the 2 pounds I use with the first set... Now, I know that will make me tired and SORE!!!
Joyce uses what she calls a modified pyramid system. You work up to the peak of the pyramid and stop there, in other words, you add weights to each set and simultaneously reduce the repetitions for each set until you reach the peak of the pryamid, but you do not descend the pyramid. Here is an example of the modified pryamid:
Set 1: twelve repetitions, 2 pounds
Set 2: ten repititions, 3 pounds
Set 3: eight repetitions, 5 pounds
I will be starting the second set. I do 15 repetitions for each exercise when I do not use weights for that exercise. So tomorrow I will be doing two sets of those exercises at 15 repetitions each set. That one is going to be REAL hard for some of my body parts... Beleive me!
