I started a new workout program today and a big shout out to Zedhed for putting something together for me. Just like the diet I'm doing, it's something quite different from what I am used to, so I'm excited to hit it hard and see how things go!
Started with a 10 min warm up on the treadmill. It was walking for a couple of minutes and then jogging the rest. HR between 140 and 150 for the 10 minutes so got a good sweat going right off the bat.
Perfect chika!
Rack pulls - I did a couple of warm up sets just to make sure my form was okay and get a sense of weight. Thanks for the tips too Zed...that really helped last night.
70 lbs - 10
90 lbs - 10
110 lbs - 10 *probably start here next time
Very nice number for your first time chika. Add weight every time you do these even if only 5 Lbs. Excellent job my gurl.
Bent over DB shrugs - these felt very awkward but I can sure feel my back this morning.
3 sets of 10 with 45 lbs
Very nice here too.
Dips - with some assistance (Zed...I'm assuming they were focused on tris rather then chest?)
3 sets of 10
I can do between 2-4 unassisted dips for maybe 1 or 2 sets. I'm not sure which is better?
Keep your head up and bod as str8 as you can. Focus on shouders and tries.
Do not use the assist. Instead do negatives when you cant get yourself back up. But also give a try to the way Bader is doing them. Just go down a couple of inches. Then work on going lower next time you do em.
Ended with another 30 minutes of cardio - 10 mins on the step mill, small heart attack....over to the treadmill.
HR avg 145.
Perfect!
It's cool to change it up and try different exercises and the workout was not super long, which I also like.
I'm nailing my diet every day!! I've hit the groove spot and the last few days I've felt really good and generally happier, even with pms!
Tonight is my carb/ fat load and I'm excited!!
