I was a little concerned about the chin up. I didn't think we had a chin up bar in our gym and I knew there was no way I'd be able to do one unassisted. And apparently that was one of the adds for the renovation, so now we have one. And, just as importantly, we have those rubber bands to assist. I'm also very thankful that I came in on an off day to attempt it the first time. It wasn't pretty and would have been embarrassing in front of other people.
Here's how it went:
1/3/2011 | sets | reps | weight |
Wood Chop | 2 | 8 each side | 60 |
plank | 2 | 60-90 sec | 60 sec |
dumbell squat w/offset load | 2 | 8 each side | 30lb db |
dumbell alt overhead press | 2 | 8 each arm | 15lb db |
single leg bent knee deadlift | 2 | 8 each leg | 15lb db |
chin up with band | 2 | 8 | 6 3/4, 2 full |
alternating lateral lunge | 2 | 8 each leg | 15lb db |
two point dumbell row | 2 | 8 each arm | 25lb db |
The chin up really was comical. In the first set, I managed 6 of them coming up 3/4 of the way. In the last set, I just wanted to do one full one, but I did two. Hopefully this exercise will be a good indicator of how much I progress.
