I wanted to share what's going on in my strength program.
I told you about my summer plan here: http://carsickcaravan.blogspot.com/2013/06/drops.html where I was doing "drops."
I'm still doing them. Every third day. But I have some exciting news to report. I have added reps and weight!
So here's what I started with, and where I am now:
Exercise Start Now
Crouch Lateral Raise 5 lb. each hand 10 lbs. each hand
Crouch Tricep Kickbacks 5 lb. each hand 10 lbs. each hand
Overhead Tricep Extension 10 lbs. 15 lbs.
Standing Rows 5 lbs. each hand None
Plank Row None 5 lbs. each hand
I started with drops of 40/30/20/10 reps. Now I'm doing 45/35/25/15.
Other exercises:
Bench Press: I started with 3 sets of 8 reps each at 65 lbs. I have added a whopping 5 pounds. And no reps.
Seated Bicep Curls: I started with 3 sets of 15 reps each. I have not changed a thing.
I feel stronger. I can see muscles.
They match my growing thighs.

Glad to hear you're making progress!
I've started a new arm workout that I really like. Give it a try sometime- Hammer Curls, Shoulder Press, Butterflies, bicep curl, Tricep Pulse (30 seconds) Chest Fly, tricep press. 8 reps of each, 4 sets.

There's also a walking push up in there but I cut that one because of bad wrists.
Rock on, Queen of Cheese! I hate push-ups. But I know that they are such a GREAT all-over/core builder. Those and the damn crunches. Isn't it funny how we want to get all fancy and use complicated equipment and it's those P.E. basics that work?
And how funny that our workouts are similar! We should mark our calendars for three months from now and wear tank tops to work! Ha!
