YEAH more lifting!!! Today we did a number of supersets and talked more about eating.

I hafta eat if I want to gain it turns out.

Superset 1
bench press (20x45lb, 20x65lb, 15x75lb)
Hanging leg raises (15 with 5 lb dumbell tied to feet)

Superset 2
Shoulder work on bench and with cable pulling up and over chest (3 times 15x25lb)
Obliques on bench (touch elbow to opposite leg) On this one he made me reach really high and hit the knees. On the final set he held me legs and made me pump out 20 sit ups. I was grunting pretty hard by the end of this set

Exercise 3
assisted Dips (3x15) I never did dips before. Holy cow they hurt. He assisted me by holding my legs and I was allowed to use them as needed to pull myself up. At the end of this one my arms were shaking. My whole upper body was shaking. He laughed at my expresion. I was shocked at how much work this lifting business is.

Exercise 4
We did more ab work. I had seen other training clients do this one. You hold onto the trainers leg from a lying down position and then you do reverse crunches and he pushes the feet away from him. We did many of these until I was making noised and did 3 sets with a rest in between.

That's all we had time for today. Again I am going at this fairly slowly and asking a lot of questions and stopping a lot to correct form so things will get more intense as I get my head wrapped around what it is I am supposed to be doing.
