Monday August 28th

Today's Training:
Incline Bench - 4 x15 140 lbs
Flat Bench - 4 x 15 135 lbs
DB Flys - 4 x15 40 lbs
Pushups - To Failure
Crunches - 4 x 25
Reverse Crunches - 4 x 25

For some reason I didn't have much energy in me today which is weird since I had been doing so well. At around 12 reps on the benching I was struggling and just felt sluggish. For some of them I had to rack the weight, take a 10 sec breather and get the other reps out. Probally my worst training day so far.

Today I also used my new heart rate monitor and have to say that I was no where near my target 130-150 bpm range before. Even at a fast walk of 4.0 mph on an incline set at level 9, I was just under 130 bpm. So I switched to the elliptical which was much easier for me to get in my target heart range. This maybe because its more of a full body workout with the arm rods, but it concerns me that I couldn't get my heart range up on the treadmill as the cardio is supposed to be "light".
