Chest and Triceps

Cardio:
    Morning
  • 40 minutes on the treadmill, prior to weight training, which included running three miles
  • 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer, post-weights.

    Evening
  • 15 minutes of "Guerilla Cardio" (5 minutes warmup, 5 minutes hard sprints, 5 minute cooldown)
  • 60 minutes of indoor cycling
    *EDIT: 60 minutes of spin turned into two hours...I burned well over 2,000 calories tonight just doing cardio...*

Weights:
    Chest:
  • Bench: 1 warmup set of 10 reps, 75lbs (12 reps), 85lbs (10 reps), 95lbs (6 reps) - I'm weak!
  • Dumbbell incline press: 25lbs (12 reps), 35lbs (2x8 reps)
  • Dumbbell decline flye: 15 lbs (12 reps), 20lbs (2x10 reps)
  • Pec deck: 75lbs (12 reps), 82.5lbs (10 reps), 90lbs (6 reps)
  • Chest press machine: One triple set of 50lbs (15 reps), 37.5lbs (12 reps), 25lbs (10 reps) - Chest burn-out

    Triceps
  • Close-grip reverse bench press: bar (12 reps), 55lbs (2x10 reps) - Again, I'm weak!
  • Skullcrushers: 40lbs (3x10 reps)
  • Triceps kickback: 15lbs (3x10 reps/arm)
  • Cable pushdowns: 70lbs (12 reps), 75lbs (10 reps), 80lbs (8 reps) - I gotta stop doing these...always make my elbow hurt!

    Vonnie, skullcrushers are basically tricep presses that lower a weight or press bar in the direction of your noggin.

    Chelsea, do you work your forearms? Some barbell "suitcase" curls and some bar "flicks" should shore up your elbows by building your brachioradialis, ulnaris, and longis (all forearm muscles).
