History has been made in the US today. I did an upper body workout, I can still walk from yesterday's Plyo workout....and we have a new black president (not sure which is more historic). I spent my youth in sports, same in most of college, but I never did any upper body workouts. Lots of running and sprint work, but no upper body.
Which brings us to Shoulders & Arms. I have to tell you. I had no clue what weight to pick for each exercise. Each one you do twice so I figured I could change the weight for the second go round. I have the Gold's Gym Adjustable weight set (I'll post pics later of my equipment) Tony doesn't give a whole lot of time between exercises to switch weights. Mine need some breaking in so it takes me longer to switch weights....so I paused between a bunch of exercises until I could get the weights changed.
I felt pretty good throughout this workout(we'll see tomorrow). I probably didn't push it hard enough. I blame not knowing how much weight to use. I'm still stiff. The hardest for me is the Flip Grip Twist Tricep Kickbacks. It is just as hard to do as it is to try to say. Same goes for the Shoulder flys...those kicked my butt.
ABX - The first time I did this (Monday) I just did what I could and then moved on to the next exercise. This time I took some advice from the online forums. When I hit the wall, I paused the dvd. When I was ready I started back up again. So I did all of the reps. Just not in the same time as Tony and the other crazy ab people. The longest I paused was 15 sec or so. I got through it. Those scissors are not fun.
I have to run to Jury duty......lots of fun. I'll post some more tonight.
I did the bonus round. I've never seen those Side Tri-Rises before. I like those.
