Back and Biceps

Holy crap this is tough. It’s 24 exercises, each max reps, alternating between two back and two bicep exercises – 24 in total. Half of the back stuff is pullups/chinups, and most of the bicep stuff is various types of curls. By the end, my arms were so tired I could barely lift my water bottle to take a drink. I know I’m going to feel this one tomorrow, but I’m looking forward to it.

I did get the pullup bar at Linens and Things yesterday. It’s very easy to set up, and it’s much better than the bands. The bands are great for a lot of things, but I wasn’t getting very much resistance for the pullups. I was doing 20 reps per set of pullups with the bands before. Now, I’m using a step stool for some extra support, and still just barely being able to do 10-12 reps. I hope to be able to wean myself off of the step stool over the next few weeks, and increase my reps.

In other news, I’m going to the White Sox – Rays playoff game tonight. Go SOX!
