Bad workouts happen now and then - nothing to worry about - just stick with your plan and things will work out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autolupus Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Just read your log, nice work...what about some dips or assisted dips? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanessa Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Thanks guys. I know bad workouts happen, but I was really disappointed in myself. I will have to find out what a dip is! I'll ask dpc, my son. 3/3 Push 20 assisted pushups DB Shoulder Press: 10x12x10; 15x12x2 DB Side Raise: 10x12x3 (Up from 8lb wts) Front DB Raise: 10x12x1; 15x12x2 Elliptical for 15 min.

Vanessa Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 3/5: My first good work out since before I left for San Diego.

Don't be afraid of failing a set, you will learn your limits this way. Nice work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpc Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I should note that on this day (the day of her last log) she tried to do a chin up with palms facing each other. She could only move up like an inch from the starting position. We did this so we can measure how much better she is doing in a certain time frame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Is the squat movement feeling relatively comfortable for you still? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanessa Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Morning Matt. Yes the body squats feel fine. My left foot raises up slightly when I sit, but otherwise I'm good. I had been doing 5 sets of 20, but I get so sick of doing them that this week I did 2 sets of 20 and 2 sets of 30 just to get them done. I had to really push on the last 10, but I did it. Any suggestions? 3/25 Pull: DB Rows: 20x10x1; 30x10x1; 40x10x1; 25x25x1 Pull Downs: 55x12x1; 65x12x1; 75x12x1 (first time I've been able to do 12 reps @ 75lbs) Face Pulls: 50x20x4; 60x20x1 Bicep curls: 10x12x3 3/29: Legs Body squats: body wt x 20 x 2; bw x 30 x 2 Leg Press: 135x10x1; 155x10x1; 175x10x1 Leg Curls: 60x10x1; 70x10x1; 80x10x1 PR (these are sitting, using both legs.
