Now I'm a bit more confident with the weights, I think it's time to add a new iSTRENGTH to the mix. I went for set 8 for no reason other than I already had it on my download list!
First impressions are that the chest series features some great pec busters, but that the back exercises seemed harder to get into. Here's the rundown:
CHEST
1) Swiss Ball Dumb-bell press - 20kg (could increase) Doing these on the swiss ball was harder, but not as annoying as I usually find swiss ball exercises!
2) Barbell Pullover - 15kg - found this exercise quite weird, and wasn't sure if I was doing it properly. Think the weight may have been too heavy and this restricted my motion
3) Incline Barbell Chest Press - 15kg - three sets proved quite easy. I really like this exercise, but wasn't prepared for the fourth superset. Went down to 10kg for the 20 killer reps!
BACK
1) Dual Cable Pull Down - this one isn't on the print out. Wasn't sure how to do it so left it out this time.
2) Dumb bell row - 45 degress - 24kg - found that doing these on the bench was a bit awkward. Need to check the bench position next time
3) Underhand Close Grip Pull down - 35kg - quite easy, could maybe increase using the wee black block next time
4) Good morning / forward bend - 20kg. Somebody else had the bar, so I substituted with two 10kg dumb-bells and did the modified dead lift.
CARDIO - iTREAD 3 - 20mins
An excellent 20 minute workout. Stead runs, a 4% hill, a 7% hill and then some sprints to the finish.
