3/27/08 Workout B-1 Stage 1

I warmed up with 12 minutes on the treadmill and then the warm up exercises in NROLFW.

Deadlift
Set 1 65#/10 + 4 reps (This was actually a mistake...duh, you cannot add 10#
on each end of a 45# bar and get 55#!)
Set 2 55#/15 reps

Dumbbell Shoulder Press - Set 1 5#/15 reps - started with 10 too hard...
Wide-Grip Lat Pulldown - Set 1 30#/15 reps

Dumbbell Shoulder Press - Set 2 5#/15 reps
Wide-Grip Lat Pulldown - Set 2 40#/15 reps

Lunge - Set 1 5#/10 reps
Swiss Ball Crunch - Set 1 8 reps - this was actually a lot easier than I thought!

Lunge - Set 2 BW/10 reps
Swiss Ball Crunch - Set 2 8 reps - could have done more!

A trainer came over and helped with the form for the overhead press. I think I'm going to sign up for a free session and ask if they can guide me with the specific exercises in NROLFW. She also told me that I could get a training package for as little as $30 a month. The other gym I did a trial with had $250 a month as a minimum package. I may see if I can work with someone as needed to help with form issues. I don't want to be stupid. I photocopied the pages of the exercises and put them into a notebook I carry with me to refer to, but I can only get so much from a still picture and words. Are there video demos anywhere?
