I kept todays cardio workout to right around 30 minutes so that I can have a better back weight lifting workout.
Started my back workout with some stretching and then began with a straight bar no weights. This is called Good mornings. This workout is more of a back stretch exercise if used with no weights but can also help strengthen back muscles. Proper form is important while performing this exercise I think.
I moved on to deadlifts. I placed a 45lb plate on each side plus the bar totaling 135lbs. I did 10 reps x 3 sets. Another great exercise but proper form is very important here to avoid any injury.
After this I moved on to seated machine rows. I love this workout because I can easily set the weight to my level without doing much and it feels very comfortable. I did 100lbs at 10 reps x 3 sets.
Finished off with bent over rows. This works out the lats and is also another exercise that requires proper form for the best workout. I did 45 - 50lbs at 10 reps x 3 sets.
Overall I feel very much back into my old routine at the end of week 2. From here I think I will attempt to slowly increase weight to gain more muscle and refine my diet a bit more to decrease body fat percentage.
