Guest guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hey , do you have P90X? Are you going to try ChaLEAN Extreme? You should LOVE those! JenFrom: fitgrl222@... <fitgrl222@...>Subject: Monday workoutCatheFans , Date: Monday, June 15, 2009, 8:28 AM Hi, This morning I started another week of a different rotation. This one is a 3 Day Split and I'm doing all Amy Bento this week. Today was chest, shoulders and biceps. I used a mish mosh I had created a while back using Slo-Mo and All Pump. It's pretty intense and a really nice combo. CHEST: SLO-MO-round the worlds- 8 Incline fly with internal rotation- 15 ALL PUMP- bench press- 35 pushups (press down and push off lowering risers) SHOULDERS: SLO-MO- over head press- BB 25/20 cuban press- 8 ALL PUMP- upright row- body bar 12LB tubing throw backs BICEPS: ALL PUMP- curls (band and tubing) I used a bar bell with 30 LB lying hammer curls- 12 SLO-MO- bicep bomb fire-8 Incline biceps curl (lying) (band) I used 12LB DB This was a really fun combo. My arms feel fried right now. I even found myself stopping on a rep or two on those incline biceps with the 12's. They don't feel tough at first, but wow they sure get tough lol.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thanks Darcy! I'm not sure on DH yet. He got mad at me last night because I told him he was going too fast with the reps and he kind of yelled "what does it matter as long as I'm getting the reps in?" grrrrr. I told him he was using momentum and that he was cheating. I asked him if it was harder to follow Cathe's speed or him speed... he didn't answer. Finally I told him to do it however he wanted to and he said he wasn't a professional like me. lol I told him it doesn't take being a professional to look at the screen and follow her pace. ~*~~*~ It's raining cats and dogs -- Come to PawNation, a place where pets rule!
