Monday Workout

[Guest guest]

Hey it's chest day for me too tonite!  That's great that she has you attacking the pecs from different inclines and such like that!  Awesome job, as usual! 

 

Good morning!

 

    The weekend flew by.  I was looking forward to this weeks workouts  because its going to be the same concept as last week and I had a lot of fun with that.

 

Today started out with Cathe's Circuit Blast (cardio only premix).  I've only done this workout a couple of times.  Not sure why I don't pull it out too often.  I didn't think it would be as hard as it was.  I don't know if it was my low energy level or if it was just hard, but I was breathing.

 

So after the cardio it was the was the 3rd week of Meso 2 #19 chest work.  This was also so tough.  I don't know why this seemed harder than the other chest workouts in this series, but that minute rest flew by and the double wave loads were killer.

 

 

CHEST:

Flat bench press warm up  35  ( 12 reps)

Flat bench double wave load 12/10/8 reps  50/55/60  (repeats)  second round 50/55/57

Chest flys flat bench 12/10/8 reps  21

Incline bench press 12/10/8 reps  50/45/45

Incline chest fly 12/10/8 reps  20

 

 

All of this was 55 minutes.  I burned 339 calories, avg 129, max 174, steps 2,385

 

 

Have a great day!~~

Good morning!

I scratched Cathe's July rotation and am doing something else for the rest of the month.

Today I did STS meso 3 disk #1 (Chest & Back). I've always disliked this meso because it tends to drag with the long rests, AND the short reps and super heavy weights can get dangerous with me doing these workouts alone lol. so I figured if I can change up Slow & Heavy I can change this up too.

Before starting the weights I headed out and walked the dogs for a brisk 35 minute. I went 2 miles and burned almost 200 calories. I was pretty happy with that. It was so nice to feel cooler temps. It was around 68 and I started at 6:30.

I came back and started some laundry and got to the weight workout. Like I said, I changed it up. Here's how I did it.

____________________________________________

flat bench press 2 warm up sets 45 BB 12 reps 30 sec rest

REPEAT 4 TIMES

flat bench press 55 ( 12 reps) 60 sec rest

BB rows 65 ( 12 reps)

REPEAT 4 TIMES

chest flys 25/22 (last 2 sets) 12 reps 30 sec rest

one arm rows 35 12 reps

REPEAT 4 TIMES

incline bench press DB 30/25/22 12 reps (my arms were fried) 60 sec rest

dead lifts- skipped

REPEAT 4 TIMES

one arm horizontal rows 35/30 (last 2 sets) 30 sec rest (on last set I followed Cathe and only did the 8 reps)

incline chest flys 22 8 reps

This workout clocks in at about 70 minutes. I only knocked 10 minutes off, not near what I thought I would. I put in Crossfire and did the stretch instead of STS. I figure I can use these new workouts for something. I do love the stretch in these. So I finished with all of it in 65 minutes.

Oh, and I have to comment on my forearms. As I was working I noticed my forearms were totally swelled up. I NEVER see this. I was working!!!!

So if you read all of this THANK YOU!
