Lifted Today and Became a Minor Home Repair Superstar

Today was a non-ABD lifting day. Here is the routine:

45 Degree Leg Presses x 4s x 10r @ 300lbs
DB Step-Ups x 4s x 10r @ 35lbs

Seated Leg Curls x 4s x 10r @ 115-120lbs (I did 120 lbs.)
DB Reverse Lunge x 4s x 10r @ 40lbs

Incline DB Flyes x 4s x 10r @ 25lbs
Dips for Chest x 4s x 10r @ 65lbs or less of assistance (I did 60 lbs assistance.)

T-Bar Row x 4s x 10r @ 35-45lbs (I did 35 lbs.)
Overhead DB Pullover x 4s x 10r @ 25-35lbs (on your back, knees bent and on the floor, use a weight plate) (I did 25 lbs.)

Barbell Upright Rows x 4s x 10r @ 50-60lbs (I used a 50 lb BB.)
DB Front Raises x 4s x 10r @ 15lbs

BB Curls x 4s x 10r @ 40-50lbs (I used a 40 lb BB.)
Machine Triceps Extensions x 4s x 10r @ 40-50lbs (I did 40 lbs.)

Plank x 3s x 15r @ 10 second holds (I only did one set.)


I then went to the Home Depot (where I can do it and they can help) to get a dryer hose thingy doo (yes, that is the technical term). I found me a Home Depot man and said: "You know that hose thing that comes out of the dryer?" He said yes. I replied: "I need one of those." ::grin:: He showed me where they were, helped me find the right size, showed me the clamps to use, affirmed that I am capable of switching out said hose using said clamps, and laughed with me when I explained *why* I needed the hose. Yes, poo on your major appliances is funny...

So, I came home and got an additional workout trying to affix the hose to the top corner of the laundry room (with the step-ladder I am about 2" too short...there was much tippy-toeing). But...I did it! I AM WOMAN. Can you hear me roar???? Not sure it will work properly yet, but it *looks* like I did it right. :)

Next workout: tomorrow. Ellipticalling 8 miles.
