Day 2 - weights
Today the training schedule said no cardio, so on those days I have decided to do some light weight training so I don’t lose all my muscle! We recently installed a home gym (gracious donation from my parents who had stopped using it about a year ago) so I did a total upper body routine off that. It is all attached to pulleys and stuff, so there is a lot of resistance which is why the weight amount is not high for a lot of exercises. I did…
I started with 2 exercises from the latest Men’s Health… section on “Beach Ready Body”… 1 set of dumbbell clean and press, 1 set of dumbbell burpee, and 2 sets of the dumbbell floor sweeper, which was hella hard because I only had 20 pound weights and I think I needed to use lighter than that!
Chest - Vertical bench press, 3 sets, 60 pounds; Pectoral cross over, 3 sets, 20 pounds; horizontal flies, 1 set, 20 pound dumbbells.
Shoulders - Upright row, 3 sets, 70 pounds; Incline shoulder press, 2 sets, 50 pounds
Triceps - Tricep extensions, 3 sets, 40/50 pounds; Tricep pulldown, 3 sets, 30/20 pounds.
Back - Lateral pulldown, 3 sets, 50 pounds; One Arm straight row, 2 sets, 40 pounds; Bent over row, 1 set, 50 pounds, Straight two arm row, 1 set, 50 pounds.
Biceps - One arm curl, 2 sets, 40 pounds; Standing curl,2 sets, 60 pounds. I was definitely tired at this point and could not finish 3 sets of each.
Then I made some good tunafish for lunch 
Wow… that sounds like a lot. Go me. Might try swimming later tonight when it cools down to about 90 degrees outside!
