Upper Body Day!

So this is my upper body cycle 2. Which means...I get to do NOTHING tomorrow since it is rest/yoga day. =) I have trouble getting strong on my upper body - Kevin says it is because you recruit fewer muscles doing upper body than you do lower. It just takes awhile. Maybe it is also that I hate pushups and pullups, so I SLACK. lol.

My glutes are a little sore from squats yesterday, but not nearly as sore as last time. I'm going to roll my ass on a tennis ball to massage the soft tissue like I saw a trainer do on youtube last night.

But my stomach is in cahoots since I ate a lot of wheat and a bowl of ice cream yesterday - both of which make me a bit sick, esp. the lactose. So I'm going to give my digestive system a huge break for the next 2 days. One day, I need to get my food allergies tested like my sister did, because it is very clear that I have a lot.

Upper Body (Cycle 2):
YTWL - 2 sets to warm up
Seated cable row - 4x6x60
Lat pulldowns - 4x5x75
Push ups - 4x8 (no knees!)
Shoulder raises (front, side, and upright rows) - 4x6x8lb db

No cardio today - maybe just a night walk
