Workout, 29 November 2009.
November 29th, 2009
Nothing fancy.
- Warmed up with hard foam roller on lats, traps, and lower back.
- Lever row machine: 8 reps x 100# warmup, then 3 sets x 8 reps x 160#
- Felt stronger with each set.
- EZ-bar curls: 3 x 8 x 85#
- Form tip: Be sure not to clench your jaw or throat as you do curls; expend that energy doing the work of the exercise instead.
- Oblique crunches 3 x 20 per side
As an experiment, I’ve been giving myself 4-minute rests before every work set. It seems to allow me to lift more and better.
This was just a good, simple workout. Weightlifting need not be fancy to be effective.
