Back, Shoulders and Arms

My today's upper body workout. The beauty of not having to rush things around. I had a little trouble falling asleep last night and even was wide awake a bit earlier than 4am without any alarm. But I laid down half asleep until 6am then did the usual morning stuff before gym.

I implemented the machine assisted pull up as my trainer DebbyK suggested. In between my upper body sets, I sneaked in some pull up stuff with the machine. I used less assistance. Not sure the weight since the top 5 weight stacks above 10lbs weight stack weren't labeled so I just indicated how many weight stacks that I was using. I did total 15 reps of machine assisted pull up (overhand grip).

And as usual I also sneaked in some bodyweight leg stuff (6 sets hammies/posterior chain moves and 3 sets quad centric moves)

Tomorrow I might actually go to one of those Zumba classes at LA Fitness. Should be something fun and different to do on non weight day as now I have the time.
