tyggerjaiNew routine last night - figured the old one was getting stale after 6 weeks.
Squats: 3x15 @ 40K. I think my form is getting better, but I've got a couple more weeks before I up the weight, I think.
Lat pulldown: 3x15 @ 80/90/100. I started at 110, sinec that's what I was doing for the Vgrip lat pulldowns, but this is wide grip, and oh boy did my poor abused left shoulder complain. So I backed off on the weight and eased back into it. It's a little tight today, but 100 should be about right for the moment. My form needs a little work, though. Slow, controlled. It's very easy to do the lat pulldowns hard-and-fast, which tends to mean you're "lifting" from the hips.waist, by throwing the body into it. Bad form, no biscuit.
Shoulder press: 3x15 @ 66. That's a 66 lb barbell (30 K), instead of the dumbells. And it's even harder, for some reason. Maybe because I've just come off a set of lat pulldowns :)
One arm dumbell row: 3x15 @ 35. Yay rows. I like these ones, though I'll have to play with the exact positioning a little to get comfy.
Bench press: 3x15 @ 35K. I need, really, to decide on whether I'm talking pounds or K here, don't I :P Bench presses, finally. Depressingly light. I am not yet butch. But I'm finally doing them, so I only have to add dealifts, at some point, and I'm hitting all the powerlifting moves. This was really hard, though- weird tight, stretchy feeling across teh chest, and it's one exercise that would be easier, psychologically, with a spot.
Calf raises: 1x15. Boring and painful. I should have done more sets, but I hurt :)
abs/cardio. Ten minutes jogging - I really wasn't in the mood. And yeah, that's o way to get buff like Vin, but oh well.
So there we go. Routine shamelessly lifted from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

With regards to pictures .... I'm not yet objectively impressive, and I don't have any "before" pictures, so there's no comparison for subjective impressions either. But I guess I should take some now, so that in 6 months, they'll be the "before" pictures. So ok, maybe, this week some time. But I warn you all, I'm not buff yet. Just getting there.
