R2D38 – Back & Biceps + Ab Ripper X

This week I work afternoons, so I am done at 5pm. Oddly enough I think there are people here that work mornings, I did not know, I came home and worked out at 6pm and woke someone up LOL So I may workout in the morning this week, we’ll see. Either way I had a pretty good workout, I still felt it even though I had to try to avoid to creek the door as I did my pull ups, at times I feel I could have done better, (Not like I did bad at all) but we shall see how I did…

Reading this Chart:

  • Last column is the difference in reps since the last time I did this workout:
    • Green = More Reps than last time
    • Red = Less Reps than last time
  • NC = No Chair
  • C = Chair Assisted
  • RA = Right Arm
  • LA = Left Arm
  • R = Rep
  • W = Weight
    • B = Black Resistance Band = 30 – 100lbs
      • B1 = 1 Foot on band
      • B2 = 2 Feet (Feet close to each other) on band
      • BW2 = 2 Feet on band, wide stance

Alright, first off it seems like I did not progress much but I assure you I did LOL, first off as you can see I developed a system to say how I am placing tension on the resistance band, so today I added a bit more tension on the band and I did the same amount of reps as before. It was awesome I felt the burn and I really love this band at the moment, it is really working out for me right now. Now for some exercised I am not sure how to say if I placed more tension or not, for example lawnmowers, I step on the band with one foot but I only leave out enough band in order to pull the one side, also it is short because I an bent over, so it’s hard to say how much tension, all I can say is if I feel it week I shorten the length.

On the pull ups on some I was pretty impressed how I am doing, however I tried not to creak the door frame so much so at times that slowed me down. I could not believe I could not do extra for towel pull ups, so I brought it on chin ups LOL. However I will say when I started I did not count with doing 15 wide pull ups and then some hang time, OH YEAH!

To make this a little short, I felt the workout, my back is sore, I felt a couple of spots I never felt before LOL so that was awesome and I felt my biceps and I struggled quite a bit to lift the band at times so that was really good, all in all it was an AWESOME WORKOUT!!

Reading this chart:

  • Last column is the difference in reps since the last time I did this workout:
    • Green = More Reps than last time
    • Red = Less Reps than last time
  • F = Forward
  • R = Reverse
  • RS = Right Side
  • LS = Left Side

Still keeping it short, I did the same amount as last time, which is great, I kept the 90 for in & out and 80 on mason twist and after I was done I did elbow plank to keep the burn going a little longer.

Tomorrow I have Yoga X.

Thank you for your time:

Mike
