Exercise Progress

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.

  • Chin-Ups: 10
  • Pull-Ups: 10
  • Behind the Neck Pull-Ups: 10
  • Push-Ups: 2 Sets 20 Reps
  • Lat Pull-Downs: 70 lbs.* 3 Sets 10 Reps
  • Bench Press: 80 lbs. 3 Sets 10 Reps
  • Curls (Both Arms) 45 lbs. 3 Sets 10 Reps
  • Curls (Each Arm) 20 lbs. 3 Sets 10 Reps
  • Leg Lifts (Bent): 5 Sets 20 Reps
  • Leg Lifts (Straight): 5 Sets 20 Reps
  • Jack Knifes: 20 Seconds 6 Sets 1 Rep
  • Treadmill: 1 Mile 7.5 MPH (8'00")
  • Lunges (Each Leg): 1 Set 30 Reps
*Note: Something is wrong with the weight machine at my gym so it's hard to know how much I'm actually lifting based on the weights I have attached. For example: A sitting bench press of 40 lbs. on the weight machine is harder than a true bench press of 130 lbs. with the free weights.

Improvements are bold.
