Workout 1/2/2008

I worked out today, running on time, and I also started out a half hour earlier than usual, as I expected the gym to be packed with the newly resolute. The gym was a little busier than uusual, and there were unfamiliar faces, but mostly it was okay. Nevertheless, I will be waking at 5:00 instead of 5:30 for the next few weeks. Today was upper body day:

• Warmup on recumbent bike, 7 minutes
• Bench Presses, Smith machine, 60/60/60 (plus 44.5 for the bar)
• Barbell Curls, 55/55/55 (using the "fixed-weight" barbells)
• Dumbbell Front Raises, 17.5/17.5/17.5 (alternating arms)
• Dumbbell Lateral Raises, 12.5/12.5/12.5
• Dumbbell exercise for rotator cuffs I can't find online, 10/10/10
• Seated Rear lateral Dumbbell Raises, 10/10/10
• Dumbbell Shoulder Press, 22.5/22.5/22.5
• Dumbbell Shrugs, 55/55/55
• Triceps Pushdowns, 80/80/80
• Cable Seated Row, 105/105/105
• Lat Pulldowns, 95/95/95
• Elliptical Cross Trainer, 10 minutes
• Recumbent Bike, 13 minutes

Bench Presses were harder than usual today for some reason, and the Triceps and Rows are always a pain. I had to up the intensity on the Recumbent bike to 13 to keep my heart rate up, too.
