Thursday Workout Report (What Workout? Edition)

[the_gneech]

Well, my muscles are tired, so I must have done something, but I didn't notice it while it was happening.

I wrote down some numbers, I must have done SOMETHING...

Rows: 3 mins @ 55 lbs (warmup)
Resisted Reverse Crunch: 1 set 15 reps @ 15 lbs
Rope Pushdowns: 1 set 10 reps @ 35 lbs
Deadlift: 2 sets 10 reps @ 25 lbs
Reverse Curl: 2 sets 10 reps @ 35 lbs
Barbell Bent Over Rows: 3 sets 10 reps @ 30 lbs
Stiff Leg Deadlift: 2 sets 10 reps @ 20 lbs
Seated Lateral Shoulder Raise: 3 sets 10 reps @ 25 lbs
Abdominal Crunch: 2 sets 15 reps
Rows: 3 mins @ 35 lbs (cooldown)

Body Weight: 300 lbs

Next week doesn't increase resistance anywhere, although about half of the exercises click over the week after that. So in the meantime, I'll just keep on keepin' on.

I hope that you are using a trainer, because this exercise routine sounds like it is intended to build up muscle, not reduce body weight. I see not walking, jogging, eliptical, stair master, and of that stuff.

Well, it is building up muscle, but it's also burning fat, so I won't complain. I'm already noticeably slimmer along the top of the stomach and in the sort of "groove" areas where there was less fat to begin with. I'm told, however, that losing fat is like melting snow ... it goes away quickest from the places it's thinnest, whereas the thick parts linger on considerably longer.
