Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Saturday 3/11/18: Arms extra (+ some legs!);
1hr. 10mins.
The scratchy routine I had for today all went to pot in the end as I realised half way through that I was too ambitious with my game plan mentioned briefly yesterday.
I started the day by going with Mrs. Floyd to a pleasant and picturesque town up the road from us named Beverley to take her car in for its service. While we were there we decided to have breakfast at the Wetherspoons hotel in the town, which was rather nice and filling, then went around the market and shops. Of course I had decided to partake in a large breakfast, two coffees and snacks on my return home and pottered around the house until it had all ‘settled’.
By three o’clock I felt ready enough to visit the gym but found myself struggling somewhat with my elaborate programme for today which I had written down as a three-part routine. That routine was to begin with a ‘top-up’ session just for the arms, which were mostly neglected yesterday in favour of chest, delt and shoulder work and which would more or less complete some of this weekend’s ‘strength’ session that I had missed out. That all went very well and some hard work was done, but then I went for a full legs session which became too much after a couple of exercises as I was feeling rather queasy
, so the rest of that routine is now put on hold and I’ll finish it tomorrow along with a full cardio routine. Jeez, the things we take on sometimes without thinking about the after-effects!
Here’s today’s session:
Arms
Arm curl, alt. (stack machine), warm-up:
15x25
Pinwheel curls, standing, alt.:
6x15, 6x15, 6x15 (no rest between sets)
Bicep curls, standing, alt.:
6x16, 6x16, 6x16 (no rest between sets)
Standing preacher curl, alt. (over bench):
7x20, 6x22
Barbell curl, seated:
10x35, 10x35
E-Z preacher curl, close-grip:
15x30.5, 15x30.5, 15x30.5, 15x30.5
10x40.5
25x18 high reps
*Biceps totally fried but nicely swollen by now, so gave them a rest.
Barbell forearm reverse curl:
12x15, 12x15
*I do very little forearm work as the muscles are worked during all other upper body routines, but decided on a couple of light lifts today.
Tricep extensions:
40x40 high reps
Fly delt dec (bicep ‘pull’ setting):
20x95
Legs (Part 1):
Incline press:
25x150
20x200
12x250, 12x250
25x150 high reps
Seated ham curls:
12x50, 10x60, 6x70, 4x80
25x35 high reps
Sled press:
25x120
Left it all there as I was cream crackered and couldn’t put any more effort in. It’s pointless training when you’re tired so tomorrow I’ll continue exactly where I have left this workout with the bulk of my sled pressing, extensions and the good girls/bad girls stuff. Plus…Cardio!
