chest and arms!
Well, I haven’t still officially recovered from back on Tuesday but decided I was good to go with training today. Can’t straighten my arms 100%, biceps really got worked with my ‘back training’ but what the hell, I have a competition to do. Warmed up with Jenny Lynn on the dvd player and then Simon took me through my workout. (Had no choice really but to train didn’t I!!!)
We worked on incline smith machine presses for my chest and superset with real steep incline push ups (my feet up on the back of the leg press machine pad! nice!) 3 sets here and then into incline db supination curls, really focussing on the squeeze and contraction, into db incline hammer curls, my arms were very pumped by this time. Then an interesting tri-set of lying flat on bench with ez bar, first exercise was pullovers, into close grip bench into french press, that was really hard, my triceps were coming through and my back was trying to stabilize me, as my poor abs! We did this twice and then into bench dips, failing miserably as my arms were not holding out for me here, it was 5 seconds down, 5 seconds hold and 1 second to push up! Oh my god, spent a lot of time on the floor and trying to push myself up was even harder as my arms belonged to someone else! Then we finished off with 2 sets of db concentration curls. It was a really enjoyable workout, we were both pleased with the session - STEAK for lunch……………
Clients have been great this week, just trained Rebekah this morning, her routine was supersets of arms and cardio. We did ez bar curls and close grip push ups, cable french presses and lying down cable curls, she did really well, couldn’t feel her arms after either! good girl - did great to finish on the 1km row!
