I weighed in this morning at 259!! 250’s….wooooo hoooo!! I am 68lbs down and am exactly 100lbs away from goal! Feels Good…
Training yesterday was chest/triceps/abs. My arms are killing me but still not as bad as after the lower body workout.
Here’s what we did:
3 sets of 12 - Chest Press w/ 20, 25, 30lbs
3 sets of 10 - Dumb Bell Press on 30degree Incline w/ 12lb weight
3 sets of 8 - DB Press on Flat Bench w/ 15lb weight
3 sets of 12 - Overhead Tricep Extensions w/ 10lbs
3 sets of 12 - Tricep Pushdowns w/ 30lbs
3 sets of 12 - Kickbacks w/ 5lb weights
3 sets of as many as we could do (which was not a lot) - Abs on flat bench, lifting legs and lower back off bench
3 sets of as many as we could do (even less than leg lifts) - Abs on flat bench, starting sitting up and doing reverse crunches *hardest one for me*
3 sets of 12 - 6lb ball passed between us - back to back and twisting while squeezing our abs
I knew I had little to NO ab muscles but HOLY CRAP. When we did the leg lifts, I did 10 the first set, then 7 and then I could only do 4! When we switched to regular crunches I was ready. I knew it would suck but everyone can do a regular crunch. Then Paula said ok, now sit all the way up and start from there. HA! No way could I do a FULL sit-up. Patti and I both said, “can we use our hands to get up?” Which we did, then we had to go back as far as we could and then back up to sitting straight. I tried 1 and fell all the way down because I couldn’t stop half way and come all the way back up. It was aweful. Paula let me hold her arm for a couple on the next set and the last set, she was behind me to help on the upside if needed. OF COURSE IT WAS NEEDED! I think in 3 sets I did 7 crunches! Something to work on I guess….
