Chest & Triceps – 10/16

Chest & Triceps
Chest:
-wide push-ups (wider than shoulder width)
-flat bench bench press
-flat bench dumbbell flys

Triceps:
-narrow push-ups (keep elbows in, close to body)
-standing dumbbell tricep extension
-cable rope pushdowns

Push-ups are so underestimated; they are the one movement that absolutely kill me & I love that they incorporate my midsection; lift like a boss – no girl push-ups 😉

 When dumbbell benching, turn dumbbells so they are just between parallel and perpendicular to your body

TIP OF THE DAY: View calories as fuel and energy. While trying to build muscle, it is essential to get in enough clean, healthy calories to achieve benefits. Did you know that most women do not take in enough calories?! Restricting calories will slow your metabolism over time, causing your body to store food as fat in fear of another starvation (ever wonder why weight-loss all the sudden becomes difficult after awhile of restricting calories/meals). Try to focus less on the exact calories, and more on the ingredients in the foods. If they are things you can read and understand, they are considered clean and good to eat! Learn to eyeball a portion size and eating clean becomes much less of a mind game. GET IN THOSE HEALTHY CALORIES!

Hectic day starting at 7:15am – yes, all my alarm clocks are something positive/funny 🙂 Meal #1 & #2 on the go!

FitnessBarbie Style: Tried the upside down braid with a ponytail today; not so cute, but I only gave it 2 minutes, no re-do, and was working with curly bedhead hair lol; I love it so I will keep trying 🙂 What doll doesn’t love a good deal – Gap vest originally $60 on sale for $8.97 with an additional 40% off!

Even better… class high score by 7% on my gov’t/politics exam; muscles AND BRAINS are sexy 😉
