Today I tried my new Workout. I know I said I was going to wait till next week to start, but I got a bit excited 🙂
Here’s what I did. Full log on Daily Burn.
- Shoulder Press (Machine) 70#/10, 80#/10, HIIT
- Preacher Curl (Machine) 65#/10, 80#/10, 80#/10, HIIT
- Incline Press (Machine) 50#/10, 50#/10, 50#/7, HIIT
- Chest Machine (Flys) 50#/10, 50#/10, 50#/10, HIIT
- Bar Dips – 2-3, then immediate failure. Decided arms were toast.
- 15ish minutes on elliptical machine for some aerobics (130-135 bpm heart rate)
Notes on HIIT – I was glad I used machines. I had to drastically reduce weight. Arms were at complete failure. Final (4th) HIIT set was sometimes 20#. I don’t think I’m doing HIIT right yet, since I’m just getting back to heavy. I don’t think I’ll have to drop weight so much in a week or two.
