DAY 1: upper body workout


warmed up with 10 minutes of stretching.....did doorway chest stretch, fixed bar back stretch, doorway front deltoid stretch, biceps stretch, and overhead stretch....also did 30 pushups!


UBW:

shoulders:
barbell shoulder press: 12~34lbs, 10~39lbs, 8~44lbs, 6~49lbs, 12~49lbs
barbell front raises: 12~24lbs

chest:
bench press: 12~49lbs, 10~54lbs, 8~59lbs, 6~64lbs, 9~69lbs, 3~64lbs
quillitine bench press: 12~54lbs
( the quillitine presses put a lot of stress on my right shoulder so i think i will find a different exercise to do with the bench presses next time)

back:
(started with barbell back pullovers but they also put LOTS of stress on my shoulder...i did 12 reps with 24lbs but do not think i will do these again)
bent over rows: 12~39lbs, 10~44lbs, 8~49lbs, 6~54lbs, 12~59lbs, 12~59lbs

biceps:
reverse curls: 12~24lbs, 10~29lbs, 8~34lbs, 6~39lbs, 10~39lbs, 2~39lbs
curls: 12~34lbs

the 39lbs is almost too heavy for me to make a whole set...i paused after i reached failer at 10 and then restarted and did 2 more. i will stay at this weight i think for a while until it feels comfortable.

triceps:

triceps extentions: 12~14lbs, 10~19lbs, 8~25lbs, 6~30lbs, 12~30lbs
close grip bench presses: 12~44lbs

amazing that its so hard to lift so little on these extentions! ill ikeep it up and we'll see how these do for my triceps this time!

DAY 2: 20MAS

Ohhhh - you've developed an addiction to IRON...

[Mr. Burns voice] Excellent! [/Mr. Burns voice]

Pammiejoe -

A HUNDRED POUNDS. That is an INSANE amount of weight to lose.

I keep hearing it inside my head, over and over again. A HUNDRED POUNDS.

I am in awe.

If you can do THAT, my dear, you can do ANYTHING.

You'll get yourself to where you want to be. It'll take longer than you want, but it'll happen sooner than you think. The nice part is at least, even when it's slow, it's in the right direction the whole time.

C2W1D6: 20MAS

Pammie...you know what I admire about you?? You are always so positive and excited. I love this in people and people like you reach their goals

Keep on pumping hon..you are amazing
