I got out a bit later than I'd hoped (despite the extra hour from going back to standard time), but I still got in a good workout:
The numbers (weights and/or reps) are lower on a bunch of things, because I made a point of doing the stuff that's not in the Xpressline workouts I'd mostly been doing.
Cardio, 22:20, top heart rate 161
Calf machine, 65 pounds, 2 sets of 12; 60 pounds, 12
Bench press, 65 pounds, 10. I really didn't want to do bench presses at all, and hadn't in weeks, so figured one set of ten was better than nothing, and good enough. It's not about impressing anyone.
Triceps pulldown, 40 pounds, 15, 9. Weight down a bit, as the trainer recommended on Thursday; fewer reps than I'd been aiming for, but this wasn't one to push, since I reduced the weight because I suspect that my left triceps is a bit sore.
Wrist curls, 35 pounds, 2 sets of 15. Another I hadn't done in a while.
Seated leg curl, 100 pounds, 12, 10
Leg presses, using the Icarian plate-loaded machine Elliott showed me (not the nautilus that's part of Xpressline): 200 pounds, 2 sets of 11. No, it's not about impressing anyone or proving anything, but I'm pleased to be carrying 45-pound weight plates around even for short distances.
Biceps curl, 40-pound bar, 3 sets of 15
Lateral raise, 7.5 pounds in each hand: 15 easy (just lift and lower), 12 hard (lift, bring to center, lower), and another 15 easy.
Crunches, 4 sets of 20
Back arches, 3 sets of 17
Yoga tree, 4 sets of {2 on each leg}
Adjustable row, 90 pounds, 2 sets of 15
