no gym today or tomorrow. tomorrow we're going on a "cruise" from Baltimore to Annaopolis and won't get back until the afternoon and the YMCA in the afternoon is impossible to work out at.

not going today for three reasons. one is we spent about 3 hours walking around the inner harbor. another reason is my body is incredibly sore from Tae Bo. the last, and most important reason, my ride has sciatica, and waled around the inner hardbor. he's in excruciating pain and doesn't want to take me.

no gym. i'll probably do some cardio later though. taking care of my friend is exhausting. though, for what it's worth, i did carry a lot of groceries in the house.

Well, yesterday was my off day. I needed it. I was getting super tired during the day. I feel much more rested today.

Since I had been doing the same routine for a month, I've changed it up a bit. Changed some exercises, changed the order, the weights, etc. It was a nice change. I'll keep it this way for three weeks until I take me week break. I HATE taking a break.

Monday 40 mins

Plate loaded hack squat - 50-20-20-20
Leg extension - 50-20-20-20
Calf Curl - 45-20-20-20
Toes Lifts - 100-20-20-20
Adductor - 55-20-20-20
Abductor - 55-20-20-20
Knee lifts -(no weight) 20-20-20
Obliques - 10-20-20-20

I did learn that leg extensions after hack squat may NOT be the best idea. LOL

First day of the new routine for upper body. It went pretty good, considering my right shoulder did NOT want to do military press at all.

Just a reminder than all weights listed below (except for dips, shrugs, and row) is the amount of weight I use in each hand, not total.

I went to the gym around 2:45 and it was almost EMPTY!! It was GREAT!!

Thursday
47 mins


Assisted Dips - 52-8-8-8
Shrugs - 125-8-8-8
Plate loaded row - 40-8 35-8 30-8
Front/Lateral raises - 5-8-8-8
Curls - 15-8-8-8
Tricep press - 10-8-8-8
Military Press - 15-4-6-5
Flys - 8.5-7-7-8
Plate loaded chest press - 22.5-8-8-8

Friday 43 mins

Plate loaded hack squat - 50-20-20-20
Plate Loaded Leg extension - 49-20-20-20
Calf Curl - 45-20-20-20
Toes Lifts - 100-20-20-20
Adductor - 55-20-20-20
Abductor - 55-20-20-20
Knee lifts -(no weight) 20-20-20
Obliques - 10-20-20-20

Even though I changed up some exercises and weights on my lower body routine, it's just so boring. I might have to add something else in or change something up again. The adductors/abductors are what's boring for the most part. Next week I guess I'm going to try increasing the weight another 5 lbs.

Saturday 47 mins

Assisted Dips - 52-8-8-8
Shrugs - 125-8-8-8
Plate loaded row - 30-8 -8-8
Curls - 15-8-8-8
Concentration Curls - 15-10-10-10
Tricep press - 10-8-8-8
Military Press - 15-8-8-8
Flys - 8-8-8-8
Plate loaded chest press - 22.5-8-8-8

foster dad said i need more mass to my bicep, hence the concentration curls. i wish this gym had dumb bells that went up by 2.5 lbs like at my college. i'd like to increase some to 17.5 but this gym doesn't have it and the 20's ar estill a little to heavy. frustrating.

Monday 47 mins

Assisted Dips - 46-8-8-8
Shrugs - 125-8-8-8
Plate loaded row - 30-8 -8-8
Plate loaded chest press - 22.5-8-8-8
Flys - 8-8-8-8
Curls - 15-8-8-8
Concentration Curls - 15-10-10-10
Tricep press - 10-8-8-8
Military Press - 20-6-6 15-8

Seems I might have a rotator cuff injury. On the military press, I could not lift the 20 lbs dumb bell past shoulder level the third time. It wouldn't move. Even when I was going to do a forced rep, I couldn't hold it. My shoulder was SUPER weak. I did some heat tonight and it feels a little better at the moment.

I also did 15 mins of cardio and stretched for 30 mins.

A funny thing happened atthe gym. My friend who takes me, he still has sciatica so he asked me to put away two 45 lbs plates he was done using. I picked them both up, one in each hand, and walked away with them to put them away. I'm only 105 lbs so I guess I impressed him.
