Once again, I think this counts as both resistance and aerobic. I get my pulse to peak at 160 while squatting, and probably keep it over the 130 bpm for at least fifteen to twenty minutes during the workout.

OK. Forget about the elbow in approach. It's just way too hard on the wrists. Add weight - 100 to 120lbs total, and use a natural, elbows flared grip. Just be sure to keep your shoulders 'down' -- ie: semi-relaxed. If you hunch your shoulders up toward your ears, you'll be pushing from the delts rather than the upper chest.

Lift: Seated Cable row
Sets 1 to 350x1270x1070x10


Tried the lighter cable rows today, where I lean forward and keep my hands low. Greatly reduces the weight I can pull, eliminates lower back from the movement. Hard to get excited about moving 70 pounds, though. May not stay with this technique. . .

Chest day - Tuesday 12/1

Pre Workout Weight = 240lb

















Cell contents = Weight in Pounds x Reps.
Flat Bench

Incline Bench

Sets 1 to 3120x9 120x790x9
Sets 4 to 690x990x8N/A

For Incline bench, I'm trying to lighten the weight, but pull my elbows in toward my sides, and push in an upward arc that really hits the upper chest - kind'a hard on the wrists, though.

I think 70 is probably too heavy to do with any kind of decent form. The whole point is to hit the shoulder/delt region. When I use 70 and up, I end up pushing with mainly my chest and triceps. Lighter weight with stricter form/slower reps, seems to hit delts harder.

Legs Friday - Nov 27

Weighed in at 238.5 on Thursday and Friday morning
Pretty sure that Prilosec keeps me about 5 to 6 pounds heavier than I would normally be, since going off of it seems to cause instant weightloss.

Feel like I have a cold, but it's time for legs.
