Strength Training - Mar 8th, 2009
I did a 15-min walk on the treadmill, followed by:
A: Deadlift - 80/15, 85/15
B1: Barbell Shoulder Press - 65t/15, 65t/15
B2: Barbell Pullover - 45e/15, 45e/15
C1: Lunge - 30e/15, 30e/15
C2: Swiss-ball Crunch - 8, 8
The barbell made a big difference, much less likely to cause pain in the elbow. What I did though was keep the weight fairly light on the pullovers. Since I’m a little afraid of dropping the bar on my head. I was actually thinking I might be better off figuring something out with the pull-up bar. I think about it for next week.
I’ve been doing low reps for so long that I forgot how much the 15 rep stuff takes it out of me. I keep thinking that I’m more fit, and lighter, so it shouldn’t be this hard.
From the HR monitor:
40 mins, 289 cals, Max HR: 163 (92%), Avg HR: 131 (74%)
