Fat Loss I Program Week 1 of 6 (Workout 2 of 3) Workout B
New Rules of Lifting – Fat Loss I Program Week 1 of 6 (Workout 2 of 3)
FL I - Workout B: Wednesday, Aug 22, 2007
Superset:
Deadlift: 3 x 15 x 90 (plus the 45lb bar)
(Although I was able to complete all 15 reps of these in each of the 3 sets, I am wondering if next time I should keep the same weight or go with less weight? Because by the time I was in my 3rd set of mixed grip lateral pulldowns I was spent.)
DB Incline Bench Press: 3 x 15 x 30's
(Good weight I think. Was able to complete all 15 reps in each set. Really had to push to get out the last few.)
Superset:
Bulgarian Split Squat: 3 x 15 x 5's (yes 5lb DB's)
(These were tough for me as I expected. For one I had a hard time with balance and then I started with too heavy weight and decided to drop down to wimpy 5 lb weights just to get through them. I wonder if my 202 lb body weight is the issue here?)
Mixed Grip Lat Pulldown: 3 x 15 x 70
(No problems with these. Increase weight next time. However, by the time I was done with these I was REALLY spent and couldn't even imagine doing the next superset. I had to rest for about 10 minutes I was sweating so bad and was really tired.)
Superset:
Romanian Deadlift 3 x 15 x bar
(I just went with the 45lb bar for starters. I will add weight next time.)
Swiss Ball Lateral Roll: 3 x 15 x B
(Not sure if I am really doing these right. These are really goofy.)
Post Workout Notes: In some ways I am bummed about this workout since I was so tired after the 2nd superset. Although based on how tired I was and how much sweat was pouring out of my head I guess it was good. The bulgarian split squats (like static lunges) gave me the most trouble (especially my right leg which is odd since I am a right handed person). Since I was so tired after the 2nd set my personal trainer said maybe we should start with lighter weight next time (on the deadlifts I assume).
Fat Loss I, Workout A will be this Friday, Aug 24th.
