Today I aproached the big scary machines and gave them a try. I did an upper body workout only.
I did three sets of 10 reps at 30 lbs on the ab machines. I definitely worked my lats on the the twisty machine, but I don't think I did things right on the machine that worked my upper abs. Although, on the plus side, I didn't hurt myself. I think next week I'll try the crunch machine and push for 15 reps depending on how it feels.
I worked my biceps and my triceps with two sets of 15 reps at 20 lbs each. I definitely felt the burn. (Boy Howdy, am I weak!) And then I worked on this big giant machine (two sets of 15 reps at 35 lbs) which worked my Deltoids, Shoulders, Upper Back and Chest, as well as my triceps again, so mostly I just felt it in my triceps and as I sit here at rest, I can recognize the slowly building muscle soreness in my shoulders and pecs. I'm not particularly satisfied. I feel like I missed some muscle groups. Next week I will investigate some of the other machines and see if I can't find a better solution.
Tommorrow cardio. Thursday... legs!
