Today was my first day of weightlifting. I have only about half an hour, so can only do 1 set for each exercise. I guess rather than doing the same exercises once every three times to the gym, I could go to four, reduce the number of exercises I do each day, and increase the number of sets. With going to the gym every other day though, it would be about a week and a half between the times I do the same exercises.<\/p>\n
Instead, I just increased my weights from the last time I worked out, and bumped up the reps to 15.<\/p>\n
What I used to do was 4 sets of 12, 10, 8, 6 reps, and decreasing weight with each one. given my time restrictions, I think this will work.<\/p>\n
Anyhow, here are the exercises I did today. I worked my arms and shoulders.<\/p>\n
1. Hammer curl: 20 lb
\n2. Tricep pull down: 40 lb
\n3. Concentration curl: 20 lb
\n4. Tricep extension: 20 lb
\n5. Wrist extension: 20 lb
\n6. Military press: 50 lb
\n7. Reverse fly: 45 lb
\n8. Lateral raise: 12.5 lb
\n9. Shrug: 40 lb
\n10. Dumbell press: 20 lb
\n11. Front raise: 10lb<\/p>\n
I think next time I need to increase weights for the military press and reverse fly. Maybe the wrist extension as well. It was slightly too easy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
