A crucial element of fitting a 30-40 minute am workout in before work is wearing headphones and listening to music that keeps you pumped. I’m always looking for new music that gets me to the next level. I do have a few favorites such as Daft Punk, Fergie, and Black eyed peas.
First Aid Kit’s My Silver Lining is not a song I listen to during the workout but rather a song I listen to after the workout. It’s a song about ( to me anyways) staying focused and meeting your goals.
Back to THE BACK, remember my pull up goal? Well, I hit 16 reps this morning!
Warmed up a bit on elliptical because I had some extra time, 3 minutes literally just to get the blood flowing.
Focused and determined to beat my personal record I headed dead straight to the pull ups.
Here’s my workout:
Pull ups, bodyweight (137lbs) 16 reps
Lat pull downs (70lbs) 15 reps
Pull ups 8 reps
Lat pull downs (85lbs) 12 reps
Pull ups 6 reps
Lat pull downs (100lbs) 10 reps
STRETCH between each superset
Isolateral dumbell rows (40lbs) 15 reps
Row machine isolateral (70lbs) 15 reps
Dumbell rows (45lbs) 12 reps
Machine (90lbs) 12 reps
Dumbell row (50lbs) 10 reps
Machine (100lbs) 10 reps
Definitely a good song with a great message for post-workout session. Loving this lat workout! Need to add this to my regimen.
Go strong mama, go for the bra extender!
Love First Aid Kit. Strong lifts.
Hhmm I don’t have a post song I listen to, that’s very interesting. I’ll have to add these to my workout….except I won’t be doing as many as you just yet. 🙂
You’ll get there, keep going strong. Just when you feel like you can’t do anymore, tell yourself, “Just two more”. It works.
