Yeah, yeah I skipped some.
Been a while since I posted last. Basically I got tired of posting the same things day after day. So here's a brief update on where I'm at. I'm down 7 pounds and 1% body fat over all. I was down more % than that but I've been out of the gym for two weeks due to illness and it seems I lose muscle as quick as I gain it.
In other news I've changed up my routine. I figured out the hard way that I was overworking my arms and couldn't get all the reps in that I needed on each machine so I've split them up and I've divided my elliptical runs into two 15 minute sets instead of one 30, which burns about the same but doesn't make me feel like I'm gonna collapse. Here's what the revised schedule looks like.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday: Elliptical: 15 minute Hill intervals level 4 @ 75rmps x2
Treadmill: 20 minutes @ 3.6 mph and 8% incline
Weights: 3 sets of 10 @ 70lbs on Curls, Bench press, and Tricep pull down.
3 sets of 10 @ 90lbs on both leg machines.
Tuesday, Thursday: Elliptical: 15 minute Hill intervals level 4 @ 75rmps x2
Treadmill: 20 minutes @ 3.6 mph and 8% incline
Weights: 3 sets of 10 @ 60lbs on shoulder press
3 sets of 10 @ 70lbs on Lat pull down and seated row
Gonna keep this until I need to go up in weight again which feels like it could be soon on the curls and the leg machine. Funny story from the time I haven't been writing, I tried doing a standing row and as per my other workouts I started at 70 pounds. Yeah, that was not nearly enough weight as I nearly knocked my head off with the bar it came up so fast. Guess I didn't know my own strength. Luckily there was no one else in the gym to witness it.
