The Dreaded Day After a Holiday...

For the most part, today hasn't been too terrible.  The day always draaaaags when a holiday lands on a Monday and you have to come back to work on a Tuesday.  At least the week is shortened though!  It's closer to the weekend! 

I spent a lot of time modifying my workouts on Sunday and Monday.  My gym was closed on Monday, so I only did some cardio and abs at home.  Because of not lifting, I am going to try to double up my workout on Wednesday.

So, here's my new arm day routine:

Linn told me that 2/3 of your arm is your triceps (Triceps have 3 heads).  I wasn't working the triceps enough in Sara's plan.  So, I've made some adjustments in my routine to include more tricep exercises w/ bicep exercises.  The tricep dips at the end of my routine are supposed to be to failure.  This will help shape the back of my arms for the back quarter turn pose that I am required to do.

I'm excited about the Tate Press and the Reverse Grip Plate Curls.  These seem like fun exercises and I'm all about doing something that isn't boring.  Here's what those Reverse Grip Plate Curls look like:

 

And, here's what the Tate Press looks like:

 

I'm nervous about doing the tricep dips.  I have done them before and boy, they hurt!  I am hoping that because I am stronger than I was 2 years ago, that I won't have as much trouble doing them as I did before. 

I didn't get a chance to go over to my mum's house to have my measurements taken.  Tomorrow, she is going to measure me so I can order my suit.  I think I've decided to go with the red suit, and I'm going to glue on some crystals myself.  I also need to order my heels.  This is definitely an expensive sport! 

I'll post later about my new routine and tell you what I think!
