A-3-Back and Hamstrings (2)

I'm noticing a little detail in my upper body but got a ways to go in the abdominal area. Today was an excellent workout.

Notes...after the jump.

Previous Workout:

Tonight's Workout...

Duration: 1:00:30
Calories: 516
Average Heart Rate: 129 bpm (68% MHR)
Maximum Heart Rate: 155 bpm (82% MHR)
Fat Percentage of Calories: 24%


Lat Pulldown-Over
2 Warms
180 lbs. x 8 Reps.
200 lbs. x 7 Reps.
200 lbs. x 7 Reps.

I didn't beat 200 lbs. as I remained here this week. I'm definitely shooting for one more plate next week.

Deadlift
2 warms
245 lbs. x 8 Reps.
265 lbs. x 8 Reps.
265 lbs. x 8 Reps.
285 lbs. x 6 Reps.

It was simpler for me to stack the 10 lb. plates. As such, I went beyond my initial target of 275 lbs. and worked up to 285 lbs.

Bench Row
1 warm
60 lbs. x 10 Reps.
60 lbs. x 10 Reps.
60 lbs. x 10 Reps.

Starting this exercise always seems to slow me down mid-workout. Not slow to a crawl but just takes a little more time to look for and/or wait for an available bench. I'm getting my method down as far as mounting and handling the weight to start. 60 lbs. is my target weight....for now.

Straight Arm Pulldown
50 lbs. x 12 Reps.
50 lbs. x 12 Reps.
60 lbs. x 12 Reps.

Went lighter here at 50 lbs. Provides for more of a controlled and fluid motion.

Lying Leg Curl
100 lbs. x 10 Reps.
100 lbs. x 10 Reps.
100 lbs. x 10 Reps.

Went lighter here and brought my legs closer together on the machine just to mix things up.

Stiff Legged Dumbbell Deadlift
1 Warm
75 lbs. x 12 Reps.

Increased weight here.

Steady State Cardio on...
