I dont do much for abs except a few times a week Ill throw some situps in my workout and grab whatever plates I have strewn on the floor. But I figure I hit them with all my compound lifts. I am going to be adding more however.
I’ve settled on decline sit-ups with a rope handle on a low cable. Great pull throughout the entire movement. i only do it once a week, and treat it like working any other muscle. in this case, pyramid sets, up and down the stack. this and planks.
Sorry for the lack of posts and training. My schedule sucked over the weekend.
But here’s today’s work out. I actually used a barbell today and got a blister.
Stretching.
Bench: 2 sets DB 10x10, 2 sets BB 10x20.
Flys: 10x25, 3 sets 8x40.
Front Press: 3 sets of 10x20.
Lat Raises: 2 sets DB 5x12.
1.25 miles on treadmill at 3.3 mph and 1.5% incline.
I’m actually feeling soreness in other muscles than just my shoulders, which I’m really happy about. When I was working out over the summer, the only thing that hurt were my shoulders, no matter what exercise I did (back or shoulder). I take this to mean I’m actually doing something right.
freaky that you could fly more than you pressed. I’d rip my arms out of the sockets if i tried to fly the 60’s i can press. hey, another team awful video!
but seriously, other than bein sore, how does it feel gettin back to workin out?

Well, since I’m usually by myself and a newbie, I go light. The 20 lb BB did feel light. The weird thing is, when doing the Front Press machine, I have to do it with no weight b/c it’s so heavy! I can barely do 10 reps. Which is why I did it with the BB this time.
It feels great! I work out, go to work, go home, and I sleep so well! I’m such a moron for stopping.
Okay, I just logged into FB and read one of my friends status. It said “1 hour on the tredmill…600 crunches…sauna…i CAN DO THIS…rite?..LMAO.” WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?

LOL No, then I would be deprived of epic status updates like that! It’s like the chick I saw at the YMCA my dad goes to. She was on the elliptical when we got there, already had sweat stains on her shirt, went to the ab machine for about 10 minutes, then back to the elliptical. She was still on the elliptical when we left one hour later.
