Family Affair

     Tonight was the first night that we all went to the gym. I'm happy to say that everyone, including the almost 15 year old, did a fine job and enjoyed themselves! I forgot my notebook or any sort of paper to keep track of what I did, but I'll give the best run-down I can of what I did. I'm still getting used to the machines so I'm not truly dialed into a set routine yet.

I will add that the Y here has a lot of "Precor" brand machines. I remember most of the names of them, but I'm sure some of them won't be right lol.

CONVERGING SHOULDER PRESS:

50lb x10

60lb x10

(70lb x5) 3x

PEC DECK:

(This machine does the rear delts as well, but I had I had no idea how to use it for that lol. I've since watched a video so next upper body day, I'll give it a go.)

60lbx10

70lbx10

(80lb x5) 3x

DIVERGING LOW ROW:

70lb x10

80lb x10

100lb x5

120lb x5

140lb x5

SEATED DIPS:

(I will admit right from the get go that I did these incorrectly. Again, after watching a video, I'll need to try them again...the right way!)

40lb x10

50lb x10

(60lbx5) 3x

PREACHER CURLS:

(I've actually never done these before, either on a machine or with free weights. They were much more difficult than I expected.)

35lb x8

(25lb x10) 3x

AB MACHINE:

60lb x10

70lb x10

80lb x10

ROTARY TORSO:

60lb x10

70lbx 10

80lb x10

     That pretty much sums up what I did. I'm upset that I screwed some stuff up, but that's to be expected, I suppose. It feels good to be moving again. I'm having a harder time with legs than I thought I would. Trying to get a good workout on the muscles without beating up my knees is something I'm still working on. I'll get there, but I don't think it's going to be in a hurry.
