Well, though I’ve done bench presses, pushups might help as well. I can feel them as I type this, in a good way.
Today: AC repair (part I..company will do part II later)
modules (yuck)
Weight workout:
pull ups: 5 sets of 10 (decent), 2 sets of 5 chins
in between: rotator cuff and glute exercises
shoulder presses (standing) 3 sets of 10 x 44
rows (single arm) 3 sets of 10
pushups: regular and deficit: 3 sets of 15, 1 of 10 (see photos)
bench presses: 10 x 132 OMG…trying these after push ups..whew…
Trap bar deadlifts: 2 sets of 10 x 184, second set was deficit (standing on 22 lb plates)
plank: 2:30
The whole thing took 1:10-1:20
It really doesn’t look like much.
The shirt is from a 50K I walked in October, 2004. It took me 6:20 to do; just over a 12 minute pace. I couldn’t run that this year..note that my marathon that year was 5:12
Alas, the shirt still fits.
Acceptance: working out will NOT make me look like an athletic 25 year old. It will make me look like a 60 year old who works out.
I so hate having to be graded on a curve.
Numbers for the year (no running/walking races)
Bench (touch and go) 198
Deadlift: 267 (straight bar)
pull ups: sets of 10..haven’t tried for a maximal set as yet.
Shoulder press: 115
