So I've been away for a long time. I haven't even been hitting the gym since I moved in a year ago. Sure I have a membership and have been inside of it a few times, but looking back, I really haven't been there much. And the time I spent there, didn't make any difference. Now I have a room mate and we both are trying to get our asses in gear. She got me into rock climbing and it's an amazing physical sport, but it's not going to take care of everything. We've decided to climb 2-3 times a week, but at least once a week we plan on creating our own hit course and running it in the apartment. Last night was the first night. I named this workout for the pain I felt the next day. Oh it was a great pain to feel again.
Upper Body Blast
1. Horizontal Pull-up
31/25
2. Push-Ups (mostly cheater ones)
16/15
3. Weighted Squats
22/25
4. Over Head Press
25/22
5. Hammer Curl
29/30
6. Tricep Table Push-Up
16/10
7. Sit-Ups
18/20
The way this worked was in a rotation. I started at 1, she started at 3 and we used a 20/40 interval. Out aim was to do three rounds, but by the end of two we were completely gassed. You just dont use the same muscles when you are climbing. We decided to keep our scores so we could track our progress for the next time we decide to use the workout again.
The biggest challenge for me was triceps.
The easiest was squats.
I did best on the hammer curl.
I did worse on the triceps.
Now that we have a good baseline, we plan on amping up the things that were too easy, and backing off very slightly on the hardest ones. I would rather do something a little easier in perfect form than to catch myself cheating cause a move is a little too hard for me.
Cant wait for next week!
I hurt. :-(
