tyggerjaiFull weights set:
D/B shoulder press: 3x15 @30. Again, a little shaky on the last three or four, which means I've probably got the weight just right, assuming one believes 3x15 finishing in good form but with effectively no reps left is the best way to lift. There are so many theories, I don't know where to start :)
Seated row: 3x15 @120. Perfect form, but the last few were a killer.
Hack Squats: 3x15 @ 2x10. Still not sure whether to stay at this weight or drop it and go deeper.
Bicep curls: 3x15 @34 (2x17) Gone from the cable curl machine to dumbells so I don't use the right arm to compensate for the left. Felt much better, and I think I can go to 20 next time.
Tricep pushdowns: 15/12/10 @80. Owie :) And dubious form, but at least poor form here works all sorts of other stuff :)
V-grip lat pulldowns: 1x15 @90, 2x15@100. Added these back in even though I have the seated row, just to see how it feels. Back/shoulder stuff is all good anyway, I reckon. Complex groups of largish muscles - doing two slightly different exercises for them is probably fine. Can't remember how much I was lifting with these last time, but I ripped out the first set this time. Which is good. Last set was a bit less powerful, but I had just done the seated row.
Then 25 minutes on the treadmill, half of which was jogging. Jogging was actually *easier* on my shin splints than walking - something about the way the foot moves/rolls. SO yeah. I jogged.
And 3 decent sets of the circuit, which means 3x15 @40 d/b chest press, and some squats.
My body really is noticeably changing shape. This is good, but alas may be a slight problem - all the T-shirts that are currently too tight around the waist are about to become too tight around my bulging pectoral muscles.
Ah well. I'll cope.
