Week 4

Good news this week! I found a friend who had a work out machine at his house. I made him work out with me so I would have someone to train with. Having a friend work out with you makes the process much more enjoyable. With this machine I was able to work out better because it allowed me to isolate a muscle. The new workouts I did with the machines:
Tricep Curls
Bicep Curls
Lat Pulldowns
Reverse Curls
Vertical Row
Bench Press

Day 1: I did not know my friend had a machine yet
Pushups - 45, 15, 15
Pullups - 3 sets of 7
Grippers - 20, 17, 15
Crunches - 125

Day 2: Found my friend's machine!
Tricep Curls - Weight 5
Reps:10 x 3 Sets
Bicep Curls - Weight 5
Reps:10 x 3 Sets
Lat Pulldowns - Weight 7
Reps: 10 x 3 Sets
Reverse Curls - Weight 6
Reps: 10, 9, 7
Vertical Row - Weight 7
Reps: 10 x 3 Sets
Bench Press - Weight 8
Reps: 10, 10, 7

Day 3: Me and my friend agreed that our last workout routine was good so we repeated it today
Tricep Curls - Weight 5
Reps:10 x 3 Sets
Bicep Curls - Weight 5
Reps:10 x 3 Sets
Lat Pulldowns - Weight 7
Reps: 10 x 3 Sets
Reverse Curls - Weight 6
Reps: 10, 9, 7
Vertical Row - Weight 7
Reps: 10 x 3 Sets
Bench Press - Weight 8
Reps: 10, 10, 7

Thoughts: Working out with a friend is really fun because we both push each other to do more. Also it can be a competition which makes you more determined to do more repetitions. I am already sore because of these workouts. I am noticing a slight increase in strength from the beginning. Looking forward to next weeks workouts.
