Great full body thrashing to start the year off with BodyPump 89 ;)
Big increase in weight for Squats and Back - hope I dont regret that squat weight tomorrow lol
Managed all push ups on feet this time too - although slightly shallow towards the end.
BodyPump 89
1st Jan 18 - Happy New year!
Warm up weight:- 7kg bar
Squats - 14kg Barbell - slowed me down a little but meant I worked harder. May have missed a rep or two.
Chest - 2 x 5kg for chest A press and 7kg bar - felt good and I think I got all the reps :)
Back with no Overhead Press - 14kg Barbell - 5kg plate for thrusters and I think I got all reps again.
Triceps - tricep push ups on power stands on knees. Got more reps than last time ;).
5kg Platefor all o/h extensions this time, didnt drop the weight to 4kg this time but did take a few breaks and pushed as hard as I could.
Dips on Bench with all bent legs - struggled (really burny) and had to take breaks.
Biceps - All curls with 2 x 4kgs. - slowed me slightly but I think I got them all just. Then used 7kg bar - got them all
Lunges - 2 x 3kgs and I think I got all the reps - took a break on the right but finished late so I think I got them omg!
Shoulders - Push ups on Power stands and push 8-8 feet, 8-8 feet but shallow depth - still good progress.
2 x 3kgs all reps on shoulders - but it got really tough for some reason and I had to drop to 2kgs for the rotations after 1 rep as just too much :( Maybe go to 7kg bar with them next time.
Core (crunches and rotating hovers)- skipped as CX Works tomorrow.

BodyPump 89
Was slightly rushed today grrr seems to be a new thing - sometimes people do everything they can to stop you working out dont they??? But I will not be stopped!!!
I skipped the lunge section today and did the core (which I skipped last time).Got my weight choices better this time and it made it more challenging ;)
BodyPump 89
Warm up weight:- 7kg emtpy bar
Squats - 10kg I think I got every rep, either way much better than last time.
Chest - 10kg - made it through and didn't bring arms in this time so pleased yay!
Back with no Overhead Press - 12kg and all good - all good this time and I thought I'd increased but clearly not at 12kg again (culprit of rushing grrr) try 13 or 14kg next time.
Triceps - tricep push ups on power stands this time all knees but got all reps in first set and shoulder feels good thank goodness. 5kg plate for all o/h extensions this time but didnt manage all the reps. Dips I on power stands with mostly straight legs - partial range meant easier for a start but still didnt manage all the reps.
Biceps - All curls with 2 x 3kgs this time and got all the reps. Then used 7kg bar and OMG the pump and burn - I think I got all the reps - just! Left bicep feels it more than the right but I guess that is to be expected as it seems to be the weaker bicep.
Lunges - skipped for time.
Shoulders - Push ups on Power stands and did the first 8 on feet in the first set and 6 on the second. 2 x 3kg and realise too heavy after first rep so I went 2 x 2kgs and just about manage the rest butonly just. 10kg Barbell and it was tough but doable - same again next time. Press's were slightly better this time but the push presses felt harder and I really had use my legs = phew!
Core (crunches and rotating hovers)- good core section only stpped twice for crampy burn but could probably do it all next time if I pushed. Also better when I haven't done similar core in Bodycombat 69 yesterday!

Les Mills BodyPump 89
Loved this today - nice heavy back track and a great tricep and shoulder burner!
I skipped the core section at the end as I was short on time.
Really enjoying working my muscles in different ways and at different tempos - my body is changing almost before my eyes so I guess it likes the change of pace!
Anybody not tried it - I recommend you give it ago.
BodyPump 89
Warm up weight:- 7kg emtpy bar
Squats - 10kg I think and just managed it - may have skipped a rep or two due to being slightly slow.
Chest - 10kg - made it through but brought arms in when he said under the bar and I dont think I should have - change bench direction next time to see the screen.
Back with no Overhead Press - 12kg and all good - lower back felt it more than anything but could increase next time I think.
Triceps - tricpe push up on bench for a few then dropped to knees. 4kg plate for o/h extensions, then 5kg on last on jsut to push. Dips I did on Bench with bent knees - didnt manage them all.
Biceps - Hammers with 2 x 4kg DB's, then changed to normals and it was too much so dropped to 2 x 3kgs. Then used 7kg bar and OMG the pump and burn - I think I miss one set while I took a breather.
Lunges 2 x 3kg - and do same again next time. I just about maanged it but may have missed a couple due to be being slow again ;(
Shoulders - 2 x 3kg I think and it was a push but I did my best. 10kg Barbell and it was tough but doable - same again next time. Press's were tough and had to give a bit of push.
Core (crushes and rotating hovers) - skipped it for time.
Don't like this app so going back to my old one.
