Bad

I've been horrible with keeping up with this and fitness in general. I'll be going to the YMCA to get a membership as soon as I can afford it. In the mean time, I'll record my work out as I do it.

3x12 Super Man

3x12 (55lbs approx) shoulder shrugs

3x12 (55lbs approx) Shoulder Press

3x12 (15lbs) lateral raises

3x12 (15lbs) front raises

I then did my pushups, as follows:

Perform inline push ups in alternation with decline pushups. Only half the movement should be used. When performing the inline pushups the hand should not be on the floor. They should be on two sets of books or objects 3-6 inches high. The feet should be on the chair. Only lower half of the movement should be performed. (Head touching the floor to elbows right angle. Elbows should not extend past the right angle. They should not approach the straight line.) This is very important. 40% of the total maximum per set. Decline push ups is done with feet on the floor and hands on the chair. Only the upper part of the movement. (Elbow right angle to hands straight.) 60% of maximum set. Stop when the second set fails.

This added up to just shy of six sets and 120 pushups. I got to 19 on the final set. (My max is about 40, so 40% is 16, 60% is 24)

Don't know if I'll do cardio today... I went for a 20 minute jog yesterday, trying to coax my shins into behaving. I don't want to overdo and be crippled again... hmm maybe I'll go for a bike ride. Not sure where to, though... hmm.
