Today's workout thrashed me.
The pattern was two weight exercises followed by a cardio interval, repeated for three sets. Then two different weight exercises and another cardio burst, also for three sets. The weight exercises mostly followed the pattern of 30 reps each, stripping off some weight at 10 and 20.
leg press - 270#, 220#, 170#
bench step-ups, 15 each leg, a 15# barbell in each hand
750m row
Smith machine squats - bar + 30#, 20#, 10#
hamstring curls - 100#, 90#, 80#
stair climb, 1:30
I think the Smith machine bar is about 25# to move by itself.
That was it. Simple and to the point. Only the hamstring exercise was limited by muscle strength for me. When I had to stop, it was to suck in more oxygen. Yow, rowing really gets to me; 2250m is probably the most I’ve rowed in any one workout.
