well. here we go. a new wednesday routine. this will be for the middle of the week for 6 weeks. how did i arrive at it. well, i knew i wanted to use dumbbells so i surfed the web taking a few exercises from here and there until i felt i had a viable set up. the first day is always an experiment in the amount of weight to use and how it feels.
last blog i got a big head so i just wrote it and sent it. then i read it. oy! please preview ,then send it. good lesson. but after all im a new guy at this and it is an experiment.
here we go:
bench press 8x25 too light. next week will be 30 lbs. remember these are all dumbbells; not barbells
flys 8x25. go for form . try to feel it all the way. careful of shoulders
upright rows 8x25 ill be lifting as high as i feel comfortable.if you have an arthritic shoulder like me make sure you are not hurting it but rather are strengthening it.
seated press 8x25. i started pressing movements much too late in my routines of the past. i feel this or something similar should be used quite often.
alternating curl 8x25. just feels good. and gets the biceps warm.definitley heavier next week
kickbacks 8x25. try to feel your triceps at the end.
kneeling one arm row 8x25 way too light. add 5 lbs next week
stationary lunge 8x25 yuk! my weakest area. i think the exercise you hate the most you need the most.
ooooh. what rotten form. well, im just learning this. it almost feels like one legged squats. us more mature folks really need get strong legs. for sure for sure.
well, thats it . next wednesday we will add 5 more lbs to some exercises and add another set to the whole routine. i will, also, go through the routine without rests between reps. oh yes, it gets more demanding.
