moving on, i did some accesorry exercises for chest, back, arms and abs..

Preacher Curls [1x10] 15 kgs

Tricep Pressdowns [1x10] 25 kgs

Abdominal Workout:

1.) Decline Sit-Ups 2x25
2.) Flat Leg Raises 1x50
3.) Decline Crunches 2x20
4.) Dumbbell Side Bends 2x25 @ 10 kgs

Overall Impression:

1.) not very happy with military press... wish i had taken more...

2.) i used some of the Max OT principles for chest and back...

3.) i dont really know the difference between tricep press downs and tricep push downs... i'm doing the one in which u keep ur body relatively straight and push the weight down (i.e. push the bar down which lifts the weight up) with elbows by my side and only the forearms doing most of the work.. in the sense, my forearms are the ones that are moving... my humerus stays firm...

4.) good workout on the whole.. cant wait for tuesday...
