I need to work on my core.
Yesterday:
8 sets of this pair:
10x barbell good morning @ 105
:30 extended-arm plank with toes on a stability ball.
The good mornings were the easy part. That ball really ought to be called an instability ball. Took me until the third set to figure out how to even get up onto the ball without help. After that was it was just pure core misery.
After that, core stability work. The upshot is that today my abs and hamstrings are so freakin’ sore. I need to work on my core so much more than I have been.
Today: floor presses up to 135, Hammer lat pulls, various cable pulls, the Tate press @ 20 lb dumbbells. All of the pulling exercises are done with strict attention to retracting the shoulders fully & keeping them locked through the motion. Damn, my upper back muscles got tired today. Not the traps, never the upper traps. To add to my ab misery: inchworms. Only unlike that guy, I kept my shoulders retracted the whole time and walked my feet out and back up again.
