Thanks for asking, Paula -- I've hurt my knee (again), and I think I'm going to be off leg work for awhile until I can get a doc to tell me what's wrong (so, no deads, squats or lunges for awhile). (Here's my post about it:
NROL without legs)
So, I'm looking for some advice about what to do with myself in the meantime. I've looked at Hypertrophy I -- it breaks up upper and lower body into separate workouts, so I think I'm going to try that for awhile, and just do the upper body workouts. Here is my workout for today:
Dumbbell incline bench press
5 x 25
5 x 25
5 x 28
5 x 28
5 x 28 (I found that I can hold a 25 lb and a 3 lb in each hand!)
Cable seated row (subbed barbell row)
5 x 67
5 x 99
5 x 99
5 x 121 (switched to pronated grip)
5 x 121
Dumbbell shoulder press
5 x 30 (25 lb + 5 lb dumbbell in each hand)
5 x 30
5 x 30
5 x 30
5 x 30
Wide grip late pulldown (subbed dumbbell pullover)
5 x 25 (using 2 25lb dumbbells)
5 x 25
5 x 25
5 x 25
5 x 25
Barbell close-grip bench press
5 x 99
5 x 111
5 x 111
5 x 111
5 x 111
High pull
5 x 67
5 x 67
5 x 67
5 x 78
5 x 78
Swiss Ball Crunches
3 x 15 x bw + holding 22 lb plate
12 x 140
12 x 140

I have to keep myself from getting to uptight about the fact that I'm not doing exactly what I wanted to do -- I'm also still concerned about the affect of not doing any legwork on my fat loss. I'm going to have to really watch eating now. Friday was bad, bad, but last two days were super-clean.
Thanks!
