Usually I write down my workout plan before I get to the gym but today I didn't have time and had to figure it out in the changing room. Surprisingly, I had a greatt workout today! Yay to improvisation! Chest, Shoulder, Tris = ARMS DAY 5 min rowing machine chest cable crossover chest press machine lateral/front raise with DB Seated raise to Y-press (here's a picture and where I first saw this move ) - this one is killer, use lighter weights) tricep cable pushdown with straight bar  shoulder upright rows I meant to go home and do 100 pushups and 100 ab wheels and 100 dips on a chair... but those can wait til tmw. Arms have been thoroughly worked out today :) Success!

Yesterday I had a good workout but it ended on a "meh" kind of note. It was good cause I was wearing two sports bra and they were thoroughly soaked >:) Chest, Shoulders, Tris 3 x 15 DB shoulder press 15 DB lateral raises, superset 10 pushups. Do 3 sets 3 x 15 tricep extensions 3 x 15 cable crossovers Butt while waiting for the squat rack... cause some dude likes to look at his phone and sit on the actual bar whilst waiting in between, weird. 10 plie squats followed by however long you want to jumprope (with DBs) Do 4 sets Squats 4 x 10 increasing weights each time Deadlifts since I went up to 95 lbs last time, I decided to start with 95 today. Cake! did about 10 reps (eventually) and then added 5 more pounds (not much difference!) was going to make it 105 lbs BUT THEN while I was in my Dianasaur-mode, some dude came up to me and I asked me how many more sets I had left. I never ask anyone how many sets they have/or how much longer they're going to be o...

Yay for workout dates :)

One of my best friends and I have decided to workout together every Wednesdays! So good because we keep each other accountable and learn new workout routines. I think I want us to switch off every other week to plan out the workout of the day :P But yesterday I planned the workout and she wanted to do arms and I wanted to do booty ARMS -Dips -Cable crossovers -Cable pressdown -on knees pushups LEGS -leg press -swiss machine kick backs -abduction on floor -jumping squats (vs she did wide stance, narrow stance, and sumo stance squats) I usually do weights that I can go as 'heavy' as I personally can and do 8 reps each. But with Anabelle, we sometimes did lighter weights and instead did more reps. It works! my arms are hurtingg Love how we're working out together! But then we went to yardhouse afterwards and enjoyed some happy hour goods. OOPS :) maybe next time we won't do that, except just enjoy a post-workout brew ;)

Monday & Tuesday Workout

Image
Yesterday I procrastinated at going to the gym because I got hungry and made a sandwich then decided to catch up on Bones (wth, why is Pelant such a maniac). But since I eventually missed the boxing boot camp class I was planning to go to, I then decided to catch up on Modern Family and Once Upon a Time. Omg why is Peter Pan (the shadow) so creepy... Therefore, I just made Monday a Cardio & Abs day -Insanity Plyometric Cardio Circuit -the ab workout from  http://www.fitbodyhq.com/strength-training/better-than-crunches-5-ab-exercises/ Here's the picture compilation I made from the information Leg raises Plank on stability ball Side plank alternating leg raise Swiss ball knee tucks Tuesday - Chest & Triceps day Chest Db bench press 4 x 8 8 6 6 Pushups 4 x 10 Lying on back chest flys 4 x 8 Triceps Cable tricep extensions 3 x 8 Tricep Db extension 3 x 8 10 mins of jumping rope (my thighs/glutes are still hurting from Sunday's workout...) and ...

Jamie Eason's DAY 1

Image
Phase 1, day 1  (link to her page and video on bodybuilding) This is day 1's workout. I did this workout 3 days ago, and I was really sore for 2 days! Going to get those muscles :D If you read my previous post, I talked about how Jamie Eason barely does cardio and that I'm going to attempt to do her 12 week weight program because I want to be toner and leaner.
