couldn't get last rep on sets 2,3.
Not bad considering I almost skipped this session. Glad I didn't. I hate the guilt that sets in from skipping a workout  : |
Ya, I never even count those "half-reps".....good you worked out anyway, even when you didn't feel like it....sometimes those turn out to be really good workouts too.....

Well done. Usually by the time I reach my third set or so I'm pretty burned, so I try to get pissed off or energized...and it works! Congrats on the lifts, all look pretty good to me.

Andrea - Yes, I do. I generally do one HIIT session a week and then a longer run (3 miles or so) where I can squeeze it in.
The biggest problem is squeezing in that second run because I lift 5 days a week. My only day off is Saturday, but I get antsy toward the end of that day and usually end up doing some kind of light workout. |

I would definitely recommend running at least twice a week. It's such a great work-out.

July 16 - Legs
Squat
135x6
155x6
175x6
185x3
155x6
Oddly, I was only getting parallel on 175 but managed to go deeper on 185. Maybe it was a lack of concentration on the 175 set. :confused:
Standing calf raise/Smith machine
160x12
160x12
160x12
I stand on plates so I can drop my heels lower.
Seated calf raise
105x12
105x12
Cybex leg press
260x8
280x8
Seated leg lift (quads) 1 leg at a time
75x7 each leg
80x7 each leg
Seated leg curl (hams) 1 leg at a time
70x8 each leg
75x7 each leg
Hyperextensions
25# 1x10
50# 1x8
Abs
Weighted crunch 25#
2x15
Incline platform leg raise
2x10
Decent overall. Wish I could have gone ass to grass on ALL the squats, but it was not to be this week. Will work on getting deeper next session. Was very happy with calf raise weights. Those little muscles can really take a beating! 18 sets including the hypers, plus 4 sets of ab work in 50 minutes. Pretty good pace. |

Thx Amy.
July 18 - Back and biceps
Deadlift
160x6
210x6
260x4
285x1
Got 255x6 last time so I upped the weight. Hit 285 today after a failed attempt at it last week. :
Bent-over BB row
110x8
110x8
110x8
Back on track with these after refocusing on form. Key for me is holding my abs tight throughout to keep my back from arching.
T-bar row
112.5x6
112.5x6
112.5x6
Good morning
100x6
100x6
100x6
BB bicep curl
70x6
75x5
80x3.5
DB hammer curl standing
35x4
30x7
Obliques - side bend w/40# DB
2x8 both sides
Threw these in because I have not done them in a while and I don't do much to work obliques on ab days.
Good day. Had low expectations because my hams were still hurting this morning, two days after my leg day. Walked all over South Street in Philly yesterday, so that was my cardio for the weekend. |

120x6
130x6
150x2
150x1
135x4
In between the 150 sets I got cocky and went for a max, which was stupid considering all the volume I did prior to trying it. Missed on 170. Whatever. Weakest...man...ever. 
Incline DB bench
45x8
45x6
45x6
Incline bench flye
35x6

Just OK. I guess everyone has a weak link in their routine. Mine's benching. Will have to settle for incremental progress I suppose. |

Everyone has there weak days. Don't get too down about it. Keep putting forth the effort to work-out and you'll improve before you know it. :

They really are just like any exercise - if you take it slow, you can build on your base each time out. When I first put up the bar in my basement, I literally could not do more than one at a time. LOL I remember thinking I was doing it wrong or something.
I like Amy's approach - just keep at it and every time you reach a goal, set a new one. Kind of like my struggle with benching. |
