7 Mar 07; Day 52
Didn't miss any resistance training routines but did skip my cardio workout for Tuesday.
No worries, I'm still making progress toward my goal; this week I have seen my lowest body fat% readings since I started using my scale!
Here's a recap of the last few days;
Monday (4th): Back/ Biceps... lifted all my goal weights and "pulled" 40 lbs more (1 rep) than any previous lift for the Dead lift.

The dead lift is such a great exercise and because you use almost every muscle in you body trying to "pull" (Dead Lift) or assist dead weight to work against gravity. More muscles used, means you expend more energy (burn more calories), in fact their are few weight lifting exercises that will cause you to use more muscles then the dead lift. So, going up in dead lifts or pulling more weight is often a good thing and means you'll add more muscle....more muscle means.....more energy expended throughout the day (while doing cardio, or even while your adding content to your favorite blog)!
Tuesday (6th): Didn't do anything, took a day off! Yeah, yeah, I know, I could have done something.
Wednesday (today): Chest/Delts/ Triceps
Had a really good workout. Made progress on some but not all of my lifts; overhead DB press and incline DB press went up, but barbell bench press stayed the same. Also, changed an exercise from lying triceps extensions (AKA skull crushers) to standing triceps extensions.
Tomorrow, I'll be back to cardio (no volleyball practice) and on Friday I'll be hitting legs/abs and will be switching out one exercise (leg press) for another (hack squats). I'll explain more about that later. Until then.....Keep getting it done!
