Weight Work

Frosty cold! I did stretches in the house and then warm-ups in front of the radiant heater until we got going.

90 min. probably. I didn't remember to check the time. ("U." designates universal machine, otherwise done w/ free weights.)

235 lbs. post workout. 42% fat.

ABS -----------------
Swing Through 35# 20 rep. 1 set
Leg Pull In 10# 10 (peak) 3 set
Dead Lift (0ly) 135# 8 rep 3 set

THIGH ---------------

U. Let Extension #10 10 rep 3 set

CHEST ---------------

U. Row #8 10 rep (peak) 3 set
U. B'Fly #8 8-6-5 rep 3 set

BACK / SHOULDERS ---------

75# 4 rep (peak) 2 set

TRICEPS ------------------

Standing Triceps Curl 65# 6/5/4 rep 3 set

BICEPS -------------------
Standing curl 65# 6/6/5 rep 3 set

-----------------------------------------------------------

Working on rt. shoulder mobility. It "pops" -- no tear, no pain, no swelling.
Very aerobic workout. Stretch first: knees to chest 20, toe touch, seated leg reach to toes. (I can't reach the toes.)

We're figuring out the weight settings and the reps. 10 reps 3 sets is about the right objective.

We're thinking about doing different routines / exercises just for the sake of working different muscle groups, or different muscle isolation. Need to focus on abdominals, more exercises, different routines. "Focus on weak points."
