Good Morning GMT

Today was S&H Chest and Back. Hooray!!! It felt so good to lift again and not do cardio I had a great workout, but was NOT able to do the pushups! My chest was pumped!!

Stats:
Chest:
bench press: 2 sets 30#, 1 set 25#
incline fly: 3 sets 20#
incline bench: 2 sets 25#, 1 set 20#
incine flies: 2 sets 20#, 1 set 15#

Back:
DB row: 3 sets 15# (will do 17# next week)
DB pullover: 3 sets 20# (I know I've gone higher before with the BB, but with the DB at 20# I really felt it )
Deadlifts: 3 sets 25# (really felt it with the DB, I like this excerse better with a DB)

I thought the planks were really hard. She has us holding the straight arm plank for over a minute!!

Gin~ I hope you had a wonderful weekend with your company

Marcy~ Wasn't it fun to lift heavy again??

Tracee~ Hope you made it to workout today. I hope you had a fun weekend of sports! My younger DS hit a homerun on Sat!! It was wonderful just watching his face lite up!!

Have a great day all
BBL,

Hello GMD!

I was so happy to be lifting again I could barely contain it. However, I felt like I needed to drop back a bit on the weights because I didn't want to over do it and I wanted to be able to build on the weights throughout this rotation.

Deanie - I hear ya on those planks. I dropped down to my knees on both of them because it was killing me. Congrats to your ds, that is awesome that he hit a homerun.

Gin/Marcy - How were your workouts today?

I had a good weekend with warm weather and good sports. My older son's football team is not good and has lots of problems but it's still nice to be outside and watching him play.

Enjoy the rest of the day ladies.

Good Morning!

Today I did L&G and was happy to be able to do all of the explosive lunges!! I remember the first time I did this w/o, I thought I will never be able to do all of those! Yesterday was S&H Chest back and Abs. I just did the same weights as Cathe, except I don't have 25#. My running partners were not able to run today and I am debating whether I want to go by myself now or not. We have Columbus Day Holiday...no school! I did enjoy having my brother and 12 yo nephew here. My nephew is a sweetie!

Deanie--Congrats on your son's homerun...FUN!! Did you enjoy your family's visit? Where they there to see your son's homerun?
I was right there with you on the planks yesterday. I don't remember them being so tough before!x(

Tracee--It was good to lift heavy again, wasn't it? I did like doing L&G today b/c it moves so quickly. I remember Cathe saying on the RT that she had to talk a total of 40 min. in between sets on the S&H series. I know it's a good workout , but it moves so slowly.
Glad you had nice weather over the weekend.

Marcy--Have a great day!

Good Afternoon

Marcy~ Where are you??? Hope all is okay. I hope you are not under a barbell;-)

Gin~ I had a wonderful time with my brother and his family. And they did get to see DSs homerun!! I am "in the mindset" for S&H so I will be doing S&H legs tomorrow. This is our first full week of school in the nursery school. In MD we do not get Columbus Day off, which always seems weird to me because in Jersey it was always a day off.

Tracee~ I'm glad your weekend of sports was fun. I think we are all happy to be lifting heavy again. Who would think thats exciting, except other Catheites!!!LOL
