Daily Workout - Arms Home Gym

I did another late evening workout again - worked all day... I have had some tendon pain in my right bicep for some time that doesn't want to go away, I had a similar pain in my left arm but more in the upper forearm and it lasted for several months but now it feel great. It's amazing how one muscle can interfere with your workout so much.

The only way I know to overcome this is to start out really light until the muscle loosens up and then make sure not to overwork it which can be hard because once it warms up it usually feels prety good. You'll pay for it later if you go to heavy!

• 10 Minutes Elliptical.
• Biceps: Dumbbell Curls Standing - Starting light - Five sets.
• Triceps: Seated Overhead Single Dumbbell Extensions.
• Triceps: Pull Downs with Curl Bar.
• Abs: Crunches and Leg Raises.

 Total workout time: About 1 hour.

Daily Workout - Shoulders in Home Gym

I almost didn't make into the gym tonight. I've been really busy working on a video editing project and it seems to be an all day kind of thing... Tonight I had to use the old "trick myself into a workout" - I tell myself I'm only going to do a really quick warm up and maybe just a few sets and then I usually just do the entire workout anyways!

• Warmup: Elliptical for 10 Minutes.
• Shoulder Press with Barbells.
• Barbell Shoulder Flies in Three Positions: Forward, Side, Behind.
• Upright Row Raises with Pulley.
• Shoulder Shrugs with Dumbbells.
• Misc. Stretching.
• Abs: Misc Leg Raises.

Total workout time: About 1 hour.

Daily Workout - Chest in Home Gym

I have been feeling a bit of weight creeping up on me lately, There hasn't been too much yard work to do and I haven't been to my MMA gym for a while as a result of a back injury and then my membership lapsing. Combine that with lots of BBQ's and summer parties that always consist of good food and drinks and it doesn't take long to put on a few extra pounds. And I even watch what I eat for the most part!

So I guess  I'm back to tracking my calories, it's something I do when I feel like I need it, I don't do it all the time just when I notice a bit of extra weight coming on.

Today I did some Chest in my home Gym:

• Warmup: Elliptical.
• Bench Press with Dumbells.
• Incline Dumbbell Press Flies.
• 3 Stage Pushups: Planche, Extended, and Regular.
• Abs: Mixed Crunches and Leg Raises.
• Misc. Stretching.

Total workout time: About 1 hour.
