Daily Exercise Thread - 2/7/05

I'm back!

I did The Firm this morning and feel great! I think I need a couple of others to rotate around.

What do you think of the new requirement that we need 60-90 minutes of exercies most days?

I find it very hard, but I will try. Maybe cardio/strength in the am and leisurely walking in the PM.

1. Today's my off-day

Did my 'push' routine yesterday and benched 365! First rep correctly, second rep cheated a bit, and third rep needed help. That's more than I've ever been able to bench.

I think 60-90 minutes of exercise is about perfect. You don't "need" it but it will enhance your life and health. Exercising twice a day is better than trying to cram it in all at once - I do my cardio in the am and strength training in the evenings.

6. Monday, as you may recall, is arm day

My favorite. Today, I enjoyed super slow/negatives on the OH rope pulley, totally maxed out on the weight. They gotta give me more plates! Did 3 full sets of drop sets with the EZ curl bar seated at the preacher curl. I also combined a super slow/negative/stop negative on the dumbell curls. Not for the faint of heart. Then, it was on to 20 mins on the elliptical, Level 3, 80 RPM avg.

Tomorrow...shoulders/delts. That Hammer Strength shrug machine was mocking me today. Tomorrow, it pays.

7. abs diet strength training

went off the diet on the weekend, was visiting my girlfriend for her birthday, and so I gained some weight.

did one set each of crunches, bent-leg knee raises, oblique V-ups, bridges, and back extensions. then two circuits of the following: dumbbell squat, bench press, assisted pull up, shoulder press, leg extension, upright row, tricep pushdown, biceps curl, and leg curl.
