Guest guest Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 I do the reverse flies like this: Sit on the bench with both feet on one side. Bend at waist so stomach is laying on upper thighs. Start with arms hanging straight down with dumbells by feet. Slowly raise arms till they are parallel to the floor. Lower slowly. These are great exercises! Park upper body workout Does anyone find that some of your weaker body parts hinder your ability to hit your tens? For example, when doing chest press, my arms tire out before i hit my ten in my chest. Also someone mentioned doing reverse (?) flies for their back? Can someone explain this. Do I lie with my face into the bench and lift my arms out like I " m flying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Welcome! For each body part you will do 2 different exercises. You will first pick one exercise (i.e. bicep curls) and do the following sets: 12 reps - one minute rest 10 - one minute rest 8 - one minute rest 6 - one minute vrest 12 - NO REST Immediately do a second exercise for the same muscle group (i.e. hammer curls) and do 1 set of 12 reps. Then rest two minutes before going to the next muscle group. You should aim to increase your weights with the first 4 sets; and then go back down in weights for the last sets of 12. Usually you will do your larger muscle groups first (chest, back, shoulders, triceps, biceps) Here is a link from the website that explains it also: http://www.bodyforlife.com/train_women.shtml Colleen > Hey all- > Today is my first day on teh program and on this message board- thanks > so much for all of your inspiration. > Here is my question: > When you do the upper body workout-how many exercises from each body > part do you do or do you do only one exercise for each body part?
