How are ya? I'm doing pretty good, just getting ready to work on some school work but I wanted to say hey to you first! :) I got a killer back workout today, too bad my camara-man was working :( ...next week!
Started with pull-ups, some with help and some on my own. I feel like I get a better squeeze when I use help with my pullups; it helps me to concentrate on squeezing my lats.
Then I did pulldowns:
1st set-> warmed up with 60lbs for 20 reps
2nd set-> 80lbs for 12 reps
3rd set-> 90lbs for 12 reps
4th set-> 100lbs for 10 reps
Next I did reverse pulldowns with the same weight and reps as regular pulldowns.
Fun fun deadlifts were next, and they felt sooo good! I love doing barbell deadlifts because they are such a powering exercise and they give your back a killer workout!
1st set-> warmed up with 135lbs for 15 reps (45 on each side and 45 for the bar)
2nd set-> added a 35 on each side, 205lbs for 12 reps (45, 35 on each side)
3rd set-> added a 25 on each side, 255lbs for 10 reps (45, 35, 25 on each side)
4th set-> added a 10 on each side, 275lbs for 8 reps (45, 35, 25, 10 on each side)
Next I went to the T-bar, I'm not sure how much the t-bar weighs so I will just tell ya how much I added each time ...sound good?!
1st set-> 45, 35 for 10 reps (80lbs)
2nd set-> 45, 35, 25 for 10 reps (105lbs)
3rd set-> 45, 35, 25, 10 for 8 reps (115lbs)
Seated rows were next->
1st set-> 80lbs for 10 reps
2nd set-> 90lbs for 10 reps
3rd set-> 100lbs for 10 reps
Drop-down set-> 120lbs for 6 reps, 60lbs for 10 reps
Bent over rows->
3 sets of 135lbs for 10 reps each (45lbs on each side of a 45lb bar)
Pull-overs to strech out a lil->
1st set-> 55lb dumbell for 10 reps
2nd set-> 60lb dumbell for 10 reps
3rd set-> 65lb dumbell for 10 reps
and finally ...Shrugs->
45lb dumbells for 20 reps
55lb dumbells for 20 reps
65lb dumbells for 20 reps
70lb dumbells for 10 reps
YAY!! My workouts aren't usually this extreamly long, although I do quite frequently get caught up in the moment and just keep going until failure??!! Don't know why, but it seems to happen a lot. Anyways, did a lil bitta calves and finished my cardio; Needless to say, I didn't have anything to do this afternoon :)
Hope you all are having a wonderful night! Trying to sit up straight at this computer is a little uncomfortable bc my back is worn out so I think I'm gonna go lye down and read my book for class!
BE SURE to check out the new series of pics posted, starting with me in the 10th grade at 16 years old (2001)!! ...they are somewhat embarassing but at least you can see just how far I have come in the sport of bodybuilding, haha. Let me know what ya think ;)
Talk to ya tomorrow, Goodnight...
