Week 3, Days 2 & 3


Tuesday's Training

Tuesday was cardio only day. Once again my favorite bike to use (the black bike) was acting up. It's working but it won't keep time. So I used a stopwatch instead. My plan was to stop at 16 minutes but with all the peddling, hard breathing and overall panting, It was difficult to keep checking the watch. Instead I just went until I hit 9.0 miles. That was around the 16.46 mark. So it was a good cardio session for sure.

Today's Training

Today was back day. It was another solid day and I was just feeling really good today. I was happy with how I looked and felt strong....maybe that's just because I started tanning on Monday. Nonetheless, it was a great day.

Pullovers- 200 x 4

Hammer Pulldowns (pictured)- 210 x 4

BB Rows - 275 x 6

Cable Rows - 170 x 6

Rear delts - 45 x 8

Back Extensions - 85 x 6

Deadlifts - 335 x 7

Hammer Pulldowns

Hammer Pulldowns are a great exercise. I used these a lot more than I have in the years past. I like the angle the machine puts my body at and also the reverse grip allows me to handle more weight. The drawback is if you aren't careful, you'll pull too much with your biceps. The key is to focus on your mind muscle connection and "feel" the lats doing the work. It takes practice.
