Cardio Results for Yesterday

Yesterday was cardio day... Went quite well methinks... Used the airwalker set to difficulty lvl 5 for 15mins, brought my heart rate up 175-180bpm's... Then thought better slow down a bit (didn't wanna give myself a heart attack) so set the difficulty rating back down to 4... Heart rate hovered at 168-173bpm's... Still in the red but getting better i suppose. Now i feel I'm pushing myself more, first few times i kept my steps per minute (spm's) low, about 100-110, yesterday kept it at a constant 130spm's... Getting better day by day!!!

Today is Lower Body Day, have no records on my last few sessions so can't really comment about it... just to a little note to say that i just purchased creatine monophosphate and methoxy whey protein shakes... Apparently, the shake has anabolic properties... hmm.. well we'll see if it dies n if there's any affect...

UrbanProphet's Exercise Program

So as not to clutter my original blog with unnecessary posts i decided to open up another blog to track my progress through my program. I'm actually on Day 4, Week 2.... Here's yesterdays results... Yesterday was lower body day...

Vertical Traction Machine : Dorsal & Biceps
Set 1 (50kg's) : 12 Reps
Set 2 (55kg's) : 6
Notes : Might have over done it a bit here think I'll lower the weights to 45 to see if I can do 12 & 8 reps.

Chest Press : Pec's Triceps & Delt's
Set 1 (35kg's) : 12
Set 2 (35kg's) : 5
Notes : Again had too much weights on, lower it to 30kg's & try for 12 & 8 reps.

Low Row : Upper Back
Set 1 (30kg's) : 12
Set 2 (30kg's) : 12
Notes: Wow, this set was great i actually enjoyed it... Will increase to 35 and try for 12 & 8 reps next time around... I think i should stick this exercise right at the back next time... Strongest muscles for me, my back....

Arm Curl : Biceps
Set 1 (15kg's) : 9
Set 2 (15kg's) : 6
Notes: This was a messed up set... all of the other machines required me to use my biceps so my mate Monkey Rock advised me to put this exercise right at the beginning next time... Definitely need to strength train my biceps... will try same weights next time aiming for 12 & 8 reps....
