Day 13: Workin'

Props for getting the music reference in the title.

Today was good.  It's my first day doing cardio on the elliptical for about 3 days (as I've been using my bike riding as an excuse not to do it), but it's still good.  I got my 2.4 miles, and it seems like everyday I'm reaching that 2.4 just a little bit quicker.  2.5 by the end of next week?  We'll see.

40 Year Old Virgin was on TV.  Despite the fact that about half the dialogue was bleeped out for TV censoring, I really didn't give that movie enough credit when I originally saw it a few 4 or 5 years ago.  It's a hilarious, heart-warming film with a fantastic cast.

Anways, weights were good.  It was my first day for Biceps and Triceps lowering the reps and upping weight.  So now my workout for arms looks like this:

Bicep Curls: 3 X 8 - 30 lbs
Hammer Curls - 3 X 8 - 25 lbs
Bicep Superset thingy (see Day 5) - 3 X 12.5 (but this is gonna move up to 15 next workout)
Dips - 3 X 12 - no weight
Tricep Overhead Extension - 3 X 10 - 45 lbs
Tricep Kickback - 3 X 8 - 17.5 lbs (but need to work on form)

The kickback is a new addition, so I need to watch my form a little bit more.  To Youtube!

I noticed the other day that I'm pretty sure my arms have gotten a little bit smaller.  However, they're also getting more toned.  It's an interesting change but it's looking good!  It's nice to see some sort of improvement after only one and a half weeks.  I'm getting there, slowly but surely.

That's all for now,
Daniel
