Another Tuesday, another ass-kicking.
I have to tell you, when I tell Karissa to push me, she pushes me. She is one amazing trainer. I am not just saying that because she reads this. I really mean it. I think she knows that I am not one to suck up here to get is easier on Thursday.
So, let's get into what we did today.
We started up with some warm-ups consisting of hockey lunges paired with shoulder raises while lying on the bench. This was more to stretch the shoulders out. I wanted to do more, but unfortunately, my arm won't let me. My chiropractor beat me up again but the arm is starting to feel better. Hopefully next week I can push the upper body a bit more.
After that, we moved onto some leg exercises. We did squats with larger weight this time and we upped the weight after each set. We will push that a bit more once I stop locking my knees at the top. That's an easy correction.
After the squats we did lunges but this time I held weights and had the back leg on a bench. Not an easy exercise and the legs were screaming by the end of it.
From the legs we moved onto chest and back. First with seated bench press which we modified somewhat to protect my arm. After that we did seated rows on the hammer machine and again we upped the weight each time. I surprised Karissa again with the weight that I could do. She didn't think that I could do it, but I did. We are getting closer to working to failure which is where I need to be right now.
I think that I am doing much better than I could have just 2 short months ago, but Karissa is the ultimate judge on that one. If she would just sign up on Google, she could comment here, but no, she doesn't want to do that.
Before I leave this post, I do have to say that my trainer has the best smile I have ever seen. I am going to soon start having to use new material just to ensure that I see it every workout. Time to start thinking up a new routine.
Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow as Wednesday is the day for cardio.
