Today's Workout

Ok, I have mentioned that I was going to start doing SuperSlow for my strength training. Well, I started it, today, and it is NOT easy! Since I don't have any machines, I simply did body weight exercises, and used my 20lb dumbbell. It took me approximately 30 minutes to work through the exercises, and I am beat! So, here is today's workout log:

• Yoga - 20 minutes 
• 3.86 mile run in 45 minutes
• SuperSlow Bodyweight workout - Each exercise is done until muscle failure is reached. Each rep is done with a 10 second contraction followed by a 10 second release. Always a very controlled movement, and no rest between. Also, no rest between sets.
• Pushups - 10 reps before muscle failure
• Situps - 7 reps before muscle failure
• Squats - 8 reps before muscle failure
• Biceps Curl 20lbs right arm: 9 reps before muscle failure
• Biceps Curl 20lbs left arm: 7 reps before muscle failure
• Calf Raises - before muscle failure
• Shoulder Press 20lbs Right Arm - 6 reps before muscle failure
• Shoulder Press 20lbs Left Arm - 5 reps before muscle failure
• Dumbbell Row 20lbs Right Arm - 8 reps before muscle failure
• Dumbbell Row 20lbs Left Arm - 6 reps before muscle failure

The biggest thing I noticed, was a marked disparity between left and right arm strength. Even though I have been training both arms in the same manner, following traditional strength training regimen, I haven't evened them out, yet.

Ok, that's it for today. Talk to you all on Monday. Enjoy the SuperBowl, and don't be too hard on yourself, if you veer off course a little. just get back on track on Monday.
