Guest guest Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 {{Hugs}}I know how it is. I've been feeling down, frustrated at the job hunt, and trapped in my parents' care (which isn't exactly true, but emotions aren't always truthful) and DH is getting on my nerves again... etc., And the lawn mower deck broke AGAIN yesterday, which we had to get welded, and it still doesn't go into reverse... Phew! That felt good. I hope you can let off steam both here online and during your workouts, as I try to. I know a lot of us here on the list have difficult lives. I'm glad the exercise can bring us together and share.Indyrose,who got another "sorry Charlie" from Wednesday's phone interview...>> Good morning!> > Not feeling good at all emotionally today, but I pressed on this > morning.> > I'm glad didn't have school today because the workout ended up > being close to 70 minutes for me.> > I started with Step, Jump, & Pump and did the step portion then did > triceps and biceps.> > Here's how it went:> > Pyramid Upper Body:> Triceps:> tricep kickbacks 3/5/7/5/3> overhead tricep extensions 12/15/20/15/12> > Biceps:> traditional curls 8/10/12/10/8> hammer curls 8/10/12/10/8> > > > > Pure Strength> triceps> close grip DB press ( 3 drop sets) 15> Lying French press ( 2 sets) 8> Cross body kickbacks ( 2 sets) 10> Lying French press ( 1 set) 8> Tricep dips ( 2 sets) (30 lb BB on lap)> > Biceps> BB curls 30> Alternating seated curls 12> Negative BB curls ( 2 sets) 30 ( I was really burning at this point)> Concentration curls ( 2 sets) 10> > > I burned 416 calories, avg 127, max 169, steps 2,916> > Have a great weekend and a HAPPY EASTER!> ~~> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went straight to back, shoulders and biceps, skipping the warm up BACK: DB Rows reverse grip 2 sets 20 DB one arm rows 1 set 25 Band T-back squeeze- I did rear delts w/ 3 DB BB pullovers 1 set 30 Modified back extensions - skipped Prone back side rotations- skipped SHOULDERS: DB overhead press 2 sets 12 Lateral raise 1 set 8 Band lateral raise - I used 3 db Band front raise - I used 3 db Rear flys 1 set 8 Band rear delt raises- I used 5 DB BICEPS: BB curls 1 set 35 DB curls partial reps 2 sets 8 Concentration curls 1 set 12 Wrist turn lower down 1 set 12 DB hammer curls 1 set 12 DB wrist curls 10 Now that was a workout!!!!! ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
