Jovial pointed out that most of what I was doing was working my lats, so I changed things up a bit. The websites he and bigmoochie linked me to were very helpful.
I haven't changed a whole lot, but I added 10 lbs.* to the weight machine, and took the other types of pull downs out of the routine. I'm focusing more on curling but haven't been able to add much weight yet. I really need to push myself on the mile and see what I'm physically capable of. I upped the speed and knocked a minute fourteen seconds off and am still finishing below my target heart rate. I watched my roommate do an 8 MPH (7.5 minute) mile and it looked pretty nasty. My time and speed are reversed from his, but I'd like to give it a shot.
I also had a protein bar (19g of protein) after my last workout. I... am not a fan of them, so I'll probably just try to have meat ready to eat when I get back.
Improvements are bold.
