How a 250+ Pound Couch Potato Got Healthy

Friday, February 29, 2008

Alright, I'm finally getting around to posting today's workout. :)

* Incline Dip... on a REAL dip station! It was a bit more difficult than my usual make-due dips. At any rate, 8 reps, sets until failure... 1 set of 8, 1 set of 5, 1 set of 4

* Incline Dumbbell Press, 12 to 20 reps, sets until failure... I never got to 20 reps though. 1 set of 12 @ 35lbs, 2 sets of 12 & 1 set of 6 @ 30lbs

* Swiss Ball Lying to Sitting Offset Dumbbell Curl... lie on back on a swiss ball, with dumbbells flat. Do a situp with dumbbells still flat, then curl them. That's one rep. 12 reps, sets until failure, 20lb dumbbells. 1 set of 12, 1 set of 8.

* Lying Triceps Extension to Close-Grip Bench Press... barbell over the head and back, 12 reps per set, sets until failure. After failure, bench press until failure. 55lbs, 1 set of 12, 1 set of 9 (lying triceps extension), 1 set of 11 (bench press).
