Weight Work

WEEK 12

Bought a 5 1/2' standard bar, 110 lbs plates and a plate rack. Cleaned up, organized the garage/weight room.

90 min. weight work:

ABS -------------

Swing Through warm up.
Dead Lift
Leg Pull In

THIGHS ----------

Leg Press
Leg Extension

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

Horiz. Press
Row
Butterfly

BACK / SHOULDERS --

Clean & Press

TRICEPS ---------

Standing Lat. Pull-Down (close grip)
Standing Triceps Curl

BICEPS ----------

We're doing some bicep work in the other mix. I don't need to train for big arms.

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

Getting Stronger counsels: "Work on your weakest aspect." And so ABS -- That whole ab/back/core thing. The progression in a routine is Abs / Chest / Thighs / Back / Shoulders / Triceps / Biceps.

We're doing some combined exercises, and objectives are to develop general strength, tone, fitness rather than focusing on any specific muscle group.

For the most part, working at ten reps, three sets. We're "adjusting" weights and sets. We're keeping track of weight/reps/sets, but see no need to list here. Right shoulder is "popping" -- likely from the fall on the steps at the column the other day. Doesn't act like it's torn, and seems to respond to running through range of motion and weight work to lend stability to the joint.

Nordic Poles arrived Friday. They're wonderful! Should get to use them tomorrow.

Looking to follow a scheduled rotation: weight day, walking day, rest day.

I didn't weigh myself.
