Friday workout

[Guest guest]

Hi,

This morning I did Super Sets Upper Body Blast. I was reluctant to even do this one because I've never had good luck with any of the upper body workouts in this one or Push Pull. I've just never gotten anything out of either workout. I'm following Bernadette so I wanted to stick with what she had down. I was very happy I did this one. I got a really nice burn and my entire upper body is nice and toasty.

The biceps killed me though for some reason. I kept burning really bad in the forearms.

I didn't use the ball for any of the exercises. I like using my bench for most upper body weight work.

Anyway, here is the run down. Hopefully I won't forget anything.

Each section is repeated a second time. I used pretty much the same weight for both rounds except for on the preacher curls which I did just the standing bar bell curls, but I dropped to 25's for the second round. This is where my forearms were on fire.

Back...barbell deadlifts- 45 lb Chest..........barbell bench press- 45 lb Shoulders....dumbbell front/side raise- 5 lb

Back...........dumbbell pullovers- 30 lbChest..........dumbbell incline fly- 20 lb Shoulders....dumbbell rotator cuff side raises- 7 lb

Shoulders...dumbbell seated overhead press- 15 lb/ 12 lbBiceps........barbell curls- 30 lb/ 25 lb Triceps.......dumbbell extensions- 12 lb

Shoulders...dumbbell rear and front delt raises- 5 lbBiceps........dumbbell concentration curls- 12 lbTriceps.......seesaw tricep push ups (no weights)

I'm real happy with this workout, glad I done it. I didn't like having to push "next" on the remote every segment though. The part where it says "pause here if necessary" would come up and it wouldn't go to the next section on its own, I'd have to get the remote and do it myself. It gave me a chance to stretch in-between, but it was a bit annoying.

This rotation is really different for me. This is the first time I think I've ever just did 2 cardios a week and then doing the upper and lower body twice. I'm really getting out of my comfort zone and I'm finding myself wanting to step on the scales more because of that fear of gaining due to the less cardio lol BUT... I think I'm doing something good for my body by changing it up so much like this.

OK, so I'm done until Sunday.

Have a great weekend.
