Hi Debbie, can I still do the rotation with light weights and still see results? Sorry, for beeing such a pain! I still can't lift very heavy

Hi ladies. Man it's cold out today and snowing. Ugh, but we had to come to work . It's not really much out there, dusting mostly, but still. We get so little snow here. It'd be such a fantastic day for staying inside, staying in sweats, and snuggling on the couch.
Today DH and I are planning on spin after work (weather permitting).

My next 8 week workout plan is the one I have done before by Chad Waterbury. It's 3 full body workouts a week and 3 cardio workouts a week. I started it today and had a blast.
This is how it went:
3 sets/5 reps each exercise with a 1 minute rest between each set.
Chest:
Flat Barbell Bench Press- 95#/5 reps; 100#/2 sets, 5 reps
***Probably could have gone heavier here. 100# was quite easy.
Back:
Barbell Rows- 85#/3 sets, 5 reps
Quads:
Squats - 85#/5 reps; 95#/2 sets, 5 reps
***This seemed easy too. Been a LONG time since I've done squats.
Hamstrings:
Stiff Leg Deads - 85#/5 reps; 90#/2 sets, 5 reps
***Again, easy. Could have gone heavier.
Biceps:
Barbell Curls - 55#/5 reps; 60#/2 sets, 5 reps
***Now here I was shocked. I thought 55# would kick my butt. I probably could have gone with 65# but would have had to cheat it.
Triceps:
Close Grip Bench Press - 75#/5 reps; 85#/2 sets, 5 reps
***Love love love this exercise. I could have gone heavier here too but wanted to keep good form.
Then I worked my Abs becuase I had extra time. I did my favorite routine that I got out of Oxygen Magazine a while ago.
Trisets:
Hanging Knee Raise
Bench V-Ups
Reverse Bench Crunch
***Did 15 reps each exercise all in a row, took a 1 minute break and did it again with 12 reps. Took a 1 minute break and did it again with 10 reps.
That is all....
Belinda - No, for this to work effectively you must lift heavy. You should be going to almost failure with each exercise with this program. Go back to when you were doing STS, were you ever able to get to the Strength cycle? If so and if you went heavy (according to your 1RM) use those numbers. HOWEVER, if you can't lift heavy because of your back, then just do what you can do. I definitely don't want you to hurt yourself.

Debbie, I am still not allowed to lift heavy I had to quit in M2! I been doing full body workouts for the last 11 weeks with light weights! Since I can't do your rotation right now, I will start M1 with light weights, see how that goes. I will change my 1RM's to what I have been lifting( for the last 11 weeks) I will copy your rotation and will do it once my back is 100% better. Thanks again!
BTW, you lifting some heavy weights, girl! WTG!

Hi girls -
Today I did disc 32 - Plyo legs. I enjoyed this disc. Tomorrow I'll do disc 33 and then I'll have just one week of STS left!
We are leaving on Wed to go to Disneyland for my youngest DDs birthday. Should be fun! We're letting each of our girls take a friend. Wish us luck!
Roxie - I hope you enjoy your Shred workout. I Netflixed that, I think. It's on my list to check out.
Heather - have a good spin - weather permitting!
Debbie - I'll have to look at what you're doing a little more closely in the future (when I have more time!!). It's a rotation you've done before? I always enjoy how you introduce new things
Belinda - I hope your back cooperates with you so you can continue M1.
Have a great day all! hello to Nora and Chris!!

Hey Everyone!
Tough day for me, my work schedule this past weekend + NY's Eve has beat me up!
But I wanted to start my week of cardio (Recovery Week) so I did Athletic Step for the 2nd time. OMG, I really love this step workout! Fun!! And with my fatigued body, it kicked my buttOCKS (more than it usually would). I even got the step that made me feel twisted last time: the shuffle into the skip across the step. It felt a lot better this time.
I think I may start my own version of Cathe's JAN 10 Rotation. I'm planning on starting next week. I'm going to replace the GS & S&H workouts in for her Meso 1 weight work, and do Shock Cardio with it. Do you think that will work?
Belinda: I know it's hard to hold back, but you're doing the right thing. Hope your back feels ok! Be careful!
Debbie: sounds like a cool rotation, you do lift HEAVY! ... Did you end up getting any results from P90X at all?
Roxie: Ah yes! I heard about that Jillian rotation. do you have all her workouts? She's tough but fun!
Heather: Snow? wow. The weather this weekend has been horrible here. It has snowed off and on (no real accumulation) , but worse than that, the winds! OMG, they were so strong and made it SOOOO cold. I hated the commutes back and forth to work at night. Hope you get to go to spin tonight.
Wendy: Yay for Plyo legs!!! How fun that you're going to Disney. Your girls must be crazy excited, AND get to bring afriend!!! I wanna go!.
*BIG wave* to Nora!!!
