Back in the game!


Not really…just that I haven’t been posting. Runs have been going, workouts done, yoga checked. Blogging, journaling nada. We’re switching things up a bit on the workout front – 5 sets instead of the 4 but it’ll be for a few weeks, maybe 3-4 max before we revert to the same ole, same ole. According to S, 5-set workouts are tough on the body and is never meant to be permanent.

This week is week 2 of the 5-set workout and we worked on legs & shoulders…and for good measure, S threw in a “bit of biceps and triceps”. Oh yeah, “for good measure”.

Supersets of:
a)       Smith machine squats (nope, still haven’t figured out how to go “low”, like super low and still be able to get up which is of course being the most important…I mean you can’t be sitting there for the entire workout)
b)      Leg press (and please remind me who said “5 sets but we keep the reps low”…nope, 20 reps is not “low” by any measure)
c)       DB Arnold press (not bad, not bad)
d)      DB single arm lateral raise (chance to “rest”)

Supersets of:
a)       BB deadlift (with reminders to push my butt back)
b)      Leg extension (and another of that “20 reps” thingy for the first 2 sets)
c)       DB frontal raise (not bad, not bad; anyone notice the pattern here???!!!)
d)      Cable upright row (definitely a pattern here coz this was another chance to “rest”)

{for good measure} Supersets of:
a)       Cable bicep curl (first set was a fluke coz it was too heavy)
b)      Cable rope tricep pressdown (neutral coz I could do it!)

This was yesterday’s cerita – pix stolen from Mrs Moey.
