Shoulder feels a bit better today but still sore. So, still taking it easy.

Today's workout:

TT DB-BW FUSION FAT LOSS PROGRAM
Level 2, Workout A-5
25 July 2007

Warm-up: 5 min. on tready...Walking lunges, Toy soldiers, Side lunge reach, Knee push-ups, Prisoner squats

Unilateral Stuff: L, R, L
Specific Warm-Ups: 2 sets (8 reps each) of each exercise @ 50%, 75% set weight for all exercises using 50# or more.

Chin-Up Work:
Advanced Inverted Rows (8x3): On hold until my shoulder feels better.

Regular Work:

Superset (no rest btw exs., 1 min. btw sets):
* DB Squat (3x8): 8 @ 27.5# dbs, 8 @ 27.5#, 8 @ 27.5# (+2.5#)
**Spiderman Push-up (3x8): 8 @ BW, 8 @ BW, 8 @ BW

*(Sub'd split squats).
**(Sub'd regular pushups). First set was spiderman pus but I switched to regular for the last two sets. Didn't want to strain the shoulder.

Superset (no rest btw exs., 1 min. btw sets):
DB Incline Press (3x8): 8 @ 32.5# dbs, 8 @ 32.5#, 8 @ 32.5# (+2.5#)
* Chin-Up (3x8): 8 @ 85#, 8 @ 85#, 8 @ 85# (+5#)

*(Sub'd Underhand Grip Pull-downs-kneeling). Presses felt much better today. I didn't feel as whipped doing them. Now I'll really have to get the 35# dbs.

Superset (no rest btw exs., 1 min. btw sets):
DB RDL (3x8): 8 @ 32.5# dbs, 8 @ 32.5#, 8 @ 32.5# (+2.5#)
Decline Push-up (3x12): 12 @ BW, 12 @ BW, 12 @ BW

Felt just a tad stress on my back with the RDLs. May have to switch to one-leg.

Notes: 3 more workouts for this program. I'm looking forward to the break.
