We did a back day.
Deadlifts (the real deal, with the oly bar!) 3X10X115 lbs
DB Deadlifts 2X10X55 (my trainer wanted to show me the difference in the 2)
Rope pull throughs (tricep cable rope through the legs, up and contract)
3X10X55lbs
Face Pulls (with the rope, elbows up) 3X10X55lbs
Chest pulls (1 foot up on bench, leaning back and pulling handle to rib cage) 2X10X55lbs
Bent over Rows 1X15X50, 1X15X60, 1X16X60
I'll go back tonight and do some cardio. It was a great workout and he is full of facts, which is what I loved about one of my previous trainers. He expressed interest in looking more into the NROL4W workouts, so I am going to let him borrow my book. He did say he asked someone that he knew about the specifics, so that is good.
You'll have to forgive me on the names of the exercises, I am sure they aren't the "proper" ones, but it's all I got.
We also talked about my goals. He is glad that I want to build muscle and that I have gotten rid of my old mindset of not lifting and just trying to be as "skinny" as I can be.

Good stuff and what a great way to start Valentine's Day!
You sound estactic over your first workout with Christian, and I think it is fantastic that not only do you have the NROL4W program to train by, but you will also be able to add in the day of training with him! Talk about taking the bull by the horns!! I know you are more than capable of handling the NROL workouts as well as anything he may throw at you, and I'm so happy for you. Your morning workout looks pretty fierce, and my hat is off to you for going BACK tonight to get in some HIIT! You are a machine! Thanks for being so determined, focused and an inspiration for me!

Happy Valentine's Day!
