Welcome Fancy -
You can borrow him for sure. If you save him on your own photobucket (or equivalent that would be great) And welcome to the challenge.

So you grew your biceps and triceps Jill? I can feel that I have muscels it that area (finally ) But I am not growing them I think. Interesting that you did it.

LOL, well not grow exactly, but there is a nice curve to my bicep and I am happy with it as it is. The triceps I definitely do not want bigger and would like to get rid of what's left of my batwings.

Finally got in some strength training. Didn't realize how much getting my wisdom teeth out would take out of me... Worked triceps and back today.

Did pilates on Friday.
Today I did full upper body- bench press/lat pulldown/incl dunbbell press/pullover/military press/arnold db press/french press/sup db curls

and lower body barbell squats/hamstrings/leg extensions/adductor and abductor

since I will be away til Friday and didn't want to miss a workout. I will take my resistance bands with me but they don't work me as well as the free weights.

Good morning!

After a slow start, I used my Bowflex program again last night. I'm starting off with light weight, playing it smart this time, unlike May, when I used a heavier weight and injured one shoulder Should have remembered I'm not 25 anymore

Bench Press - 15lbs, 2x20
Chest Fly - 15lbs, 2x20
Seated resisted Ab Crunch - 25lbs, 2x25
Seated shoulder press - 10lbs, 1x20
Lying Biceps curl - 20lbs, 2x20
Reverse curl - 20lbs, 2x20
Pulldowns -wide, 30lbs, 1x25 and narrow, 30lbs, 1x25
Reverse Crunch - (done between Pulldown sets) 0lbs, 1x15
Seated Lat Row - 30lbs, 2x15
Leg extension - 15lbs, 2x15
Leg curl - 15lbs, 2x15

this takes 40 to 45 minutes, as I don't always rest for 1 min. between sets, or exercises, I'm not a patient person, but I will rest if I need to.

total min. 85/585
