Workout Monday, February 26th at 5:20pm (40 minutes)

I ended up doing it later than usual, for different reasons, and didn’t think I’d get any PRs (Personal Records) but … 

Db bench press
40 lbs x 6 reps 35 lbs x 6 reps 30 lbs x 6 reps

Pec Deck (Northern Lights bench attachment)
100 lbs x 8 reps 100 lbs x 8 reps 105 lbs x 7 reps

Incline Db flyes
25 lbs x 6 reps 25 lbs x 6 reps 25 lbs x 5 reps

Push ups (yeah right!)
5 and 3 resp on my knees! Yikes!

Arnold press
20 lbs for all 3 sets (PR!!) x 8 – 7 – 7 reps

Seated bent over lateral raise
20 lbs for all 3 sets (PR again) x 8 – 7 – 6 reps

Swiss ball weighted crunches
35 lbs x 10 reps 40 lbs x 10 – 10 reps (finally felt my abs work with those 40 lbs!)

Seated leg lifts
3 sets of 10 reps each

Guess next Monday has me testing the Arnold Press with 25 lbs for the first set :) interesting.
After a nice, warm shower, I’m off to the kitchen to cook some lean meat and mix up a salad, before settling down to a sit-com (3½ men, very “intelligent”, lol).

And today? Well, my pecs are a little tight, nothing painful at all, not even sore! Abs … now that’s a totally separate chapter! I never ever feel the slightest tightness or soreness in that muscle at all! Drives me nuts. I’ve tried just about every exercise I can think of, people (other trainers) have sent me “crazy” ones, nothing doing. I barely feel them as I do them, and no reaction the next day.

Don’t get me wrong, they are solid (under the now 18.87% of fat) and I do see the first 2-pack and make out the next 2, but I would like to feel them a little bit, once in a while. (Please :) ?)

Well, today I do. No, I’m still not sore, but at least I can feel a slight tingle in the top part of that resisting muscle! It took a 40 pound Db swiss ball crunch to get to that point. Maybe with a 45 pounder I would have been sore?
