Start of Bowflex Ultimate 2 Journey

So, after lots of hunting for a good deal (and some eyelash batting at my husband) I finally found a used Bowflex Ultimate 2 with all the extras. We found it on a website called Bookoo.com which is similar to craigslist. Luckily for us, a couple was moving very soon and had no room in there new place for it, so we got quite a deal. The extra's they included were the ab attachment, squat attachment, and extra weight (weight now totals 410). I have been so excited to get started, so I plan on tracking my progress to see what kind of results I can get and share them with all of you.

The workouts I have completed are:

Monday, Jun 25th

Workout A
bench presses using the wide pulley, 60lbs
seated shoulder presses, 60lbs
cross triceps extensions, 40lbs
French presses (overhead tri extension), 40lbs
leg presses, 140lbs
leg curl knee flexio, 50lbs
seated calf presses, 140lbs
squats, 60lbs

Tuesday, Jun 26th
Workout B
seated lateral rows, 80lbs
narrow pulldowns, 80lbs
rear deltoid rows, 80lbs w/ chest bar
standing biceps curls, 20lbs w/ chest bar

Off day but had softball practice

Thursday, Jun 28th 
Workout A
bench presses using the wide pulley, 60lbs
seated shoulder presses, 60lbs
cross triceps extensions, 40lbs
French presses (overhead tri extension), 40lbs
leg presses, 140lbs
leg curl knee flexio, 50lbs

Double header softball games

The plan is to complete "workout A" on Mondays/Thursdays and "workout B" on Tuesdays/Fridays with Wednesday/Saturday/Sunday as a no lift day (for the first month). I hope to add in some running, but at the moment it is too hot outside. Currently, I am participating in a softball league so I get workouts with the team on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I am also am eating clean at the very least Monday-Friday allowing cheating on weekends for now, although not every meal. I will have to plan them out to balance the day. 

Keep you posted :)
