I'm the same way when it comes to a spotter. I've found that hammer strength, smith machines and db's are all the training partner a girl could ever need.

Well, this workout really kicked my ass:

-Leg Curls: 8 x 120
-Leg Extension: 9 x 170
-Leg Press: didn't do it
-Straight Arm Pullover: 10 x 60
-Chest Press (Cybex): 9 x 190
-Bent Over row with palms facing out: 10 x 90 (pretty much stayed the same here)
-Overhead Press: 5 x 140 (couldn't do more than 5, I couldn't lift the 6th rep)
-Bicep Curl with barbell: 8 x 60
-Triceps Extension (Cybex): 7 x 75
- Wrist Curl: 7 x 70 (Not too comfortable with this one, need to check my form)
-Standing Calf Raise: 14 x 110
-Trunk Curls (Ab execise): 25 times

All in all I am really beat up. I didn't get sick or dizzy, but I am really tired...
I sat on the leg press machine and remember what happened last time and got a shiver down my spine, so I decided against doing them. I felt that if it wasnt' for the handles on the side that lock the machine, I may have hurt myself with 410 pounds on my body and nobody there to help me pick it up. There were 2 women on the treadmill and the guys that I had met were in a kickboxing class, so I was literally by myself....

Ok, Now that I have collected myself, I will explain what happened and why I went from 7 exercises to 11.
As I have said before I am following Dr. Darden's HIT routines. Due to an oversight by me, I started with 7 exercises instead of 8. I forgot to add the bench press to that.
At the beginning of the week I was supposed to add exercise numbers 8 and 9, but since I had misread, I didn't. I had misread that I had to add them at the beginning of the second week. So anyway, I missed my a couple of days in between and started off today again. Of course, I was also compounding the screw up with missing out on the bench....
So to begin again, my first workout of the week should have had exercises numbers 8 and 9 and for my 2nd workout of the week, I should have added 10-12. Also, I should have started off with 8 exercises instead of 7, but....
So, what did I do? I added them all today but subtracted Leg Presses.....Confused enough?

Well, this is where the Valentines Weekend Celebration starts for me. The wife and I are joining a bunch of our friends and going to a party at the Intercontinental Hotel next to the water here in Miami. It'll be a great party where there will be loads and loads of dancing. That's bad though, because my legs are jiggly right now and I am not sure if Salsa is something that I want to dab into tonight. To avoid the drunk drivers, we rented a room and gave the kids to the grandma, so it should be a blast....
Enough said, I wish ya'll a Happy Valentines Weekend and we'll se ya'll tomorrow....

Hey Arch, funny you ask.....

No, I didn't fall down and was not able to get back up
I felt pretty strong, I was ready, I had a couple of Greygoose with cramberry and was ready to go, Willy came on stage and we went to the dance floor. Two songs and my legs felt like they were attached to bricks. Nothing harder than dancing Salsa with cement feet. I lost total coordination, wasn't dancing well and after a while I just went to the easiest possible Salsa steps that I could do so that I wouldn't look like William Hong (From American Idol). I made it the whole night with breaks in between because I was getting the "failure burn" in my legs toward the end of every song.
This was a great party and had a great time with wonderful company....
Today I am sore all over....I will never work out hard the day of a party where I think I'll be dancing....

Hello my beautiful coach...
Well the party was amazing. For Cubans in Miami, Willy Chirino is like the late Ray Charles for Americans, an icon of his music. In his case it is soft salsa. He's not as hardcore as other Salsa act and is more melodic....
Either way, we danced the whole night (my wife is an amazing dancer, she'll literally dance to anything), of course we took breaks and ate, drank, etc. and then at around 1:00 am the party ended, so I had ordered a bottle of champagne so that it would be in the room when we got there, which I knew already when that would be. We drank champagne, took in the view (we had an amazing view of Biscayne Bay) and then my wife gave me the valentines gift she bought me, which she was wearing. After that, well, that's really not anyone else's biswags....
All in all this may have been one of my better Valentines Day weekends that I have had.
Woke up this morning and a group of us went to the Hotels' restaurant and had a great breakfast buffet. No question a great weekend.
