upper-body day

Just had one of those great workouts when I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the weights. Bench press, pull-ups, dips, dumbbell shoulder presses, dumbbell pullovers–just basic stuff, but how good it feels on those days you’re in the groove.

Saw a most inspiring young woman in the weight room this afternoon. She was doing preacher curls with the EZ-curl bar and two 25-pound plates. I think the bar itself is around 12 pounds. Not bad at all. She had great-looking biceps and a very balanced, proportionate physique. Good upper body fullness and what looked like muscular, well-rounded legs beneath her tights. More power to you, honey.

I’m enjoying the combination of "real" weights two days a week and body pump (very high reps with very light weights) on Saturdays.
