The Week Ahead

Today I went to the gym to figure out my weight lifting goals for the week. Ms. Maddren mentioned I should try a one rep maximum. See how much weight I can lift or do on each machine that I choose for 1 rep, and then actually lift 40-50% of that weight to begin out. I am doing 2 sets of 8 reps to begin with! Also, I will be alternating days between cardio and weight. Today was weight, so tomorrow is cardio. As for my weight stats, here they are from today:

Chest Press Max. weight: 85 lb. starting weight: ~40lb.

Seated Row Max. Weight: 85 Lb. starting weight: ~40lb.

Abdominal Machine: Max. Weight: 115 lb. starting weight: ~55lb.

Seated Dip Max. Weight: 100 lb. starting weight- 50lb.

Low Row Max. Weight: 115lb. starting weight: 50-55lb

Lateral Pulldown Max. Weight: 85lb. starting weight: 40lb

Leg Press Max. Weight: 220lb. starting weight: 110lb

The starting weights that I posted are what I will begin with for each machine, and then hopefully increase those weights within a week. I'll be back tomorrow to outline my cardio and diet for the week!
