It is still comical to me to see definition in my arms. Who would have thought this pudgy little girl in school would one day have guns? Not me.
One problem I am having with my arm training is my left arm. I have ulnar nerve damage and it causes my left arm to be significantly weaker than my right. I have to use two different dumbbells just to compensate. There are times the left arm just quits on me and I can’t lift anymore even though the muscle hasn’t fully fatigued. I may need to cut back on my single arm movements so that I can force the muscle to work harder. The muscle isn’t damaged so that should work.

Cardio: I actually drug my lazy tail out of bed and knocked it out first thing this morning. I go the gym at 9:30 a.m. It was time for some steady state cardio. I may need to do that for a few days while my hip is getting better. 1 hour of a pyramid incline walk. Just kept the intensity moderate through the whole workout. Tomorrow is leg day so I’ll be doing the same thing but maybe throwing some backward WALKING into it to work my glutes.

Corinne,
What is SBC Pizza. If I can get good pizza in and do this I certainly will

South Beach Diet. The only thing I don’t like is the sodium content, but the pizza was delicous and loaded with protein. I think it was 23g and 300-400 cals which is just right for a meal.

Are you going to post those pictures of the different workouts?
What are leg in and outs, also how do you do: Single arm bicep curl with twist?
Thanks

No…I won’t be posting the pics. I will be using it in my Exercise Directory for my clients to use in the gym. I might offer the ED on this site to sell by itself, but I’m not sure yet. I don’t know if anyone would want it.
I’ll get back on the other two questions.
