IronMum Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Killer arms workout yesterday. I've forgotten the order and probably left out some exercises. - barbell bicep curls- superset of cable bicep curls + incline bicep curls (my memory has already failed, this could be wrong)- hammer curls- skullcrushers- superset of [something...] and bench dips- two handed dumbell tricep press- tricep pulldown (straight bar)(I've really screwed that up, I'm sure there was an additional exercise for biceps) Cycle class Abs:- superset of air bike + jackknife crunches- weighted cable ab crunch- roman chair lifts Today was Shoulders day:- smith machine standing shoulder press. OUCH.- Superset of upright dumbell row+seated dumbell shoulder press. Fatigue was setting in as I was struggling on dumbells that are 3kg less than my highest weight- incline front raises. By this time I could only handle pissy weights- dumbell side raises- cable delt something-or-other- bent over flyes 20 mins on treadmill, steep incline, brisk walking speed Really enjoying this programme. So much harder but loving it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronMum Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 No weights yesterday (it was chest day) but bootcamp had a ton of pushups. Did as many on my toes as I could manage. And Fartlek method running for 20 minutes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMum Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 whoops forgot to update...Have done heavy arms and back this week (missed legs and a bootcamp session). Started hanging ab crunches, 10 reps but my hands are slipping by 8 so I have to go faster Today was Shoulders. Had to change it up a bit as someone was on the smith machine for ages when we (trainer-gym buddy) were about to start our workout.- Superset of upright dumbell row + standing dumbell shoulder press- Smith machine seated shoulder press (OWWWW)- seated incline dumbell front raises- rear delt cable flyes- Superset of side lat raises + bent over dumbell rear delt flyes Really liking my shoulder work, out of all my body parts my shoulders have shown the most physical change. I'm no longer as rounded looking, my shoulders have a hardness to them. And I love the way they look when I'm working (not so much when I'm slouching around the house!) Nutrition a bit crap this week, no surprise I feel very mentally drained today and quite crabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Don't you love when you start seeing the changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMum Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Yep! But it's even better when others notice the changes! Arms and Abs day today. Trainer-buddy has dropped reps to 8 for most exercises and increased the weight. 4 sets for most exercises. Yeeeeah! (I think this order is correct)- 4x15 narrow pushups (for triceps)- seated overhead dumbell press- Superset of one arm suplinated cable tricep pulldown + the same but a pushdown- Superset of skullcrushers + tricep press on the bench press (20kg bar)- incline bicep curls- alternating bicep curls- 2 sets of 21's on barbell bicep curl- ab ball crunches- ab jacknife crunches holding ball- reverse ab crunches (holding ball with the feet) (those bloody balls really do make you work harder!) 25 mins slow jog on an incline (treadmill) After the arms workout my forearms and hands were numb and also felt so incredibly heavy. I will be in pain tomorrow or the day after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
