Slightly abbreviated workout

[redbird]

This workout was almost all lower-body stuff, in part because when I tried bicep curls, they felt like a bad idea.

Cardio, 22 minutes, top heart rate 154. Heart rate got into the 140s by the ten-minute mark; this wasn't one where I only got it where I want it at the very end.

Calf machine, 70 pounds, 2 sets of 12; 65 pounds, 12. I might have managed a third set at 70, but it didn't seem prudent to push, given that last Thursday I had to stop the second set at that weight short.

Leg press, 270 pounds, 3 sets of 12

Crunches, 4 sets of 20
Back arches, 3 sets of 17
Tree, 4 sets of {2 on each leg}

Bicep curl, 40 pounds, 1; 35 pounds, 3. 40 just felt like too much weight; 35 felt wrong in a slightly different way, so I decided to stop (and not try the tricep exercise), not reduce the weight further.

Chest press, 35 pounds, 2 sets of 12. Maybe not the ideal choice at that point, but it worked--and it's on the way from the place where they keep the free weights to the machines I wanted next.

Hip abduction: (70 pounds, 2); 80 pounds, 12, 8; 75 pounds, 4 (to complete the second set)
Hip adduction: 95 pounds, 13, 13, 9
