Chest & Triceps and ICYCLE 3 - 20 mins

A lesson in neglection was learned today as I realised I have been happily plodding along and only really doing the exercises I like. I love running and I love working my chest, shoulders and biceps - and I discovered the consequences of this during a new upper body rotation I'm starting from the website www.gynminee.com

I'm happy working my chest, and was able to use higher weights that suggested on all the exercises. All the exercises use dumb-bells,

Pec Deck
3 sets - 10 reps
28kg
EASY

Bench Press
3 sets - 10 reps
28kg
MODERATE

Incline Bench Press - Hammer Grip
3 sets - 10 reps
20kg
MODERATE +

Then on to the triceps - and it quickly became clear that doing a few tricep dips every week hasn't been helping my triceps! I had to go lower than the suggested weights and found it a real struggle - only completing two sets in each exercise.

Tricep Press
2 sets - 10 reps
14kg
HARD

Tricep Extension
2 sets - 10 reps
8kg
HARD

Tricep Kick-Backs
2 sets - 10 reps
5kg
HARD

Then for CV it was on to iCYCLE 3 - 20 minutes. Now, I think my lack of hard cycling recently also showed here - I found it quite tough to keep going at the speeds and resistances Keith suggested. I made it through to the end - but incredibly tired!
