If you drop 1 of those rowing motions, you'll increase your strength on the other two quite a bit faster. And more weight = more tension = more lean mean jen machine.

Plus, it would rock if you were rowing 300+. I could tell all my imaginary friends I know a girl who rows 300+.

Interesting. Would the same kind of thing apply to me? Because I always do some kind of back exercise, then my high-set/low-rep exercise, and then another light back exercise. Basically 3 total back movements, should I cut one out?

BTW, everything is looking good Jen!

You know I'd happily redo your routine at the drop of a hat. But yes, you would do well to drop an exercise. You'd start BB rowing 400+ in 3 weeks.

 

[atherjen]

Afternoon ya'll! Hope everyones having a good day! ughhh Im stuck at work all day missing the nice weather!
Im supposed to find out later tonite wether the guy is going to take my apt. or not in a week or so! I sure hope so!!!

Jillybean- thank you girl! I wish I felt the same!

SF- me row 300?? who the heck do you think I am some beast? LOL
hmmm so I should cut back a rowing? but then add in what? I always do 3-4 exercises for back.

Burner- thank goodness eh!

Mike-Thanks

 

[Jenny]

Aww, I'm sorry you're stuck at work AJ Where do you work? Maybe you can enjoy your lunch break out in the sun

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you about the apartment

 

[greekblondechic]

I wouldn't mind if Fit Freak was stalking me

Don't add in anything. Go "balls out" on your first exercise and use the remaining sets to supplement. And you're not a beast. You're Jen. You rule and you can get to a 300 row quick.

 

[atherjen]

Evenin gang!!! Well I heard back from that guy about my apt. tonite. he said he'd tell me tomarrow morning after church! but my friend was talking to him a bit more and she said shes sure hes going to take it... that would SO make my day!! I eve started cleanin junk out today!

Jenny- Thanks girl! work was productive for the mostpart today, so didnt make it go by too too long. I dont have lunch breaks or any breaks. I eat when no customers are there!

Viv-

SF- LOL!!! your silly too eh! Umm so would do you suggest. how many exercises then. 1 main rowing.. always use bb or deads? how many sets etc on other exercises?
OH and just to add- I DO NOT want to gain muscle.. just to note that!

 

[atherjen]

May 1st

~Weights: rest

~AM:
-25mins sprints!

~PM
-Rollerbladed home from work!

*my back is also pretty darn sore today! but biceps are the least bit sore?

 

[Burner02]

I was following someone elses' back workout..and seeing as it is a huge body part...I like it.
I start with either SLDL or regular deads, (4 sets) then I do pull ups. (I either go for reps (see how few sets it takes me to reach 50..or 5 sets)
then drop to 4 sets of a rowing motion, the 3 sets of another pull-down type motion and another 3 sets of another rowing motion.
Those last two exercises, as SF said, are for more reps and different angle to kill the muscle.
My back got stronger and wider. I'd show recent pics to show..but I have had the worst time being consistant since December. (two jobs, full time GF)...

 

[Saturday Fever]

Aside froma total change to Westside I would recommend you do your back routine now, minus one rowing lift. And go heavier on the first exercise. More sets, slightly less reps and look to destroy yourself right out of the gates.

And don't worry, you're not going to become all humongous. These are all strength ideas.

It's always the girls who can add mass the easiest that say they dont want any more. You'll come around, eventually... like Jodi did.
