My Wednesday Workout

Here's a summary of my Wednesday workout, and a trick I learned to protect my back and knees! (Hint hint: It's common sense!) I am also going to post videos sometimes for things some people may not have heard of. *All videos are from Youtube

WEIGHT TRAINING SUMMARY
- 3 sets of dumbbell front raise 8 times.
- 3 sets of flies with 10lb dumbbells 8 times
- 3 sets of bicep curls with 10lb dumbbells 8 times
- 4-5 sets of overhead press with an EZ bar 8-10 times ( here is a Youtube video of the overhead press but without the EZ bar Overhead Press)
* The reason I like the EZ bar is because it is EASY to do just about every workout with the bar. I like it because I have a good grip on the bar. You can do bicep curls, triceps exercises and other extensions of arm workouts with this bar.

- about 8 pullups.. definitely still working on those. I was getting really good at them while in school, but haven't worked on them since. I definitely have to make sure that I use proper form so that I am using the correct muscles.


SQUAT SUMMARY

As mentioned in prior workout entries, I injured my back. WELLLLL, it is now feeling a lot better! Thanks to my chiropractor, rest, and stretching my back is almost back to normal. I talked to the trainer/owner of the gym about how to feel safe other than wearing a belt. He simply put a bench underneath where I stood so that every time I squatted down I would hit the bench and could go no farther. SUCH RELIEF.
Today I squatted 75 lb 3 reps of 8

Sooooo in summary,
I love the EZ bar, and squats, squats, squats.
