Since I am basically starting over, and have no plans to compete anytime soon (lol), I decided to come back to the OV35. Hehehhe, not like I ever left it
My eats have been "normal", that is, non-bb'ing. I have alot of regular food that I have to eat before getting any more food. Being unemployed means having to be careful with any money spendage!
I have done a number of different programs over the years. I started with BFL in 2007; I decided to go back to it for a while today. It made me sweat -- because I was going at a pretty quick pace.
No cardio except for a 5 minute warmup on the elliptical.
Today was upper body:
CHEST: BB Bench Press: 45(bar)x12, 50x10, 55x8, 60x6, 45x12
BB Incline Bench Press: 45x12
SHOULDERS: DB Shoulder Press: 15sx12, 20sx10, 20sx8, 20sx6, 15sx12
DB Lateral Raise: 8sx12
BACK: Wide-grip Lat Pulldown: 60x12, 70x10, 80x8, 90x6, 60x12
Seated Horizontal Row: 60x12
BICEPS: BB Curls: 20x12, 30x10, 40x8, 40x6, 20x12
Hammer Curls: 10sx12
TRICEPS: OH Press: 15x12, 20x10, 25x8, 30x6, 15x12
Sitting Tricep Pressdown Machine: 100x4/90x8 -- haha, ooops, I overestimated myself! :lol:
Tomorrow is cardio day. I'll probably take step class for 40-45 minutes.

Hello Penney, that is an awesome workout for just getting back to it. I started back in the dark ages using body for life and still use a lot of what I learned from that program.
It will be nice following along with your progress.Question is: are you really going to mind if you hit your goals without puking 3 times a week?

Thank you TwoWalks. My numbers have gone down but that is to be expected. It feels good to be back slinging the ironOriginally Posted by TwoWalks
BFL is a great program. Hard, too. High reps really burn you out.~ Penney

Very strong W/O Penney....and you are NOT starting over. You've done well before and you shall do even better now. You have lots of experience to draw from and you know what it takes to get the job done.

Hi Penney!
I see you have new journal.
Subbed!She approached with her hand extended,. I slowly stepped back. "No" she said. "I just want to shake your hand. You're amazingly gorgeous." As she walked by me she copped a biceps feel.
