Cute
Yes, I feel loved
THAT would be my brother. Any takers?
Seriously, my brother is such a cool dude and has never had a GOOD girlfriend; just these heinous witches who run all over him. Can't stand it; makes me mad. He's an engineer for Ford, drives a 2006 Mustang, plays guitar and writes poetry, 24, and REALLY funny. Just a good kid who deserves a good girl. Someday, someday...
Well tonight I go back to the gym to lift upper body again. I mentioned earlier this week that I'm now curling w20 dbs, so I am THRILLED about that. Talk about accomplishment.
So here I go again... hopefully I will post this time and not be cancelled out and deleted by IE! Here is where I stand now for upper body and where I started back around Feb. 14:
1) Inclined Bench Press
w15s 3 sets x 20 (Start: Flat bench press, w10s)
2) Upright Rows
w15s 3 sets x 20 (Start: Shoulder Presses with w8 dbs)
3) Lat Pulldowns
w75 3 sets x 12 (Start: w60 and sets of 10, I think...)
4) Horizontal Hammer Lat Rows
w35 3 sets x 12 (Start: w30 and sets of 12 -- this took me FOREVER to get to w35!!!)
5) Tricep Pushdown
w35 Power down
1 set x 15
1 set x 12
1 set x 10
(Start: w25... again, has come a LONG way)
6) Bicep work (Start: w10)
w 20s
1 set rotation curls (is there a real name for these where you turn the wrist?)
15 of those
1 set of hammer curls x 15
1 set of straight curls x 8 or 10 (depends on the day)
After all that, I go do some ab work on the ball and then some obliques on the mat. I haven't done lower body in a long time because of my knee, but I can't wait to get back to that.
Diet right now is aimed for 50/25/25 instead of 40/30/30 due to the oxandralone. Trying to maximize the results from that.
Knee status: I trained last on Monday night, and it was a little tender, but nothing crazy pain-wise the last 3 days. THIS is where I have to stay strong and KEEP RESTING because at this point in the last few weeks I've said, "OOH, I'm healed!" and went for a crazy workout. So... rest rest rest... just lift, right?
Goal tonight is to bike for awhile (maybe 20 minutes or so) after I lift and see how my knee reacts. Warmed up on the bike on Monday and no pain or discomfort but my heartrate was up a little so it's all good.
Time to teach.
