9 days since previous workout. Leg press 21x210 per leg, seat 3, seat back 3 -> 215. Leg extension 9x90. Leg curl 7x75->50. Calf raises 9x35 on the machine, go to just the pads on the machine. Pulldown 11x145 -> the machine does not have intermediate weight increments, so work to 15 reps before trying 160 pounds. Row 5x85. Shoulder press 8x150. Chest press 7x110. Back extension 10x210.
I was nauseated and had to take a break part way through the workout. Evidently my attempt at working extra hard has at least some success.
Next workout is next Thursday, with another 9 day break. I'll try that for three more workouts, and if progress continues I may use it indefinitely. If not, I'll change the workout. Really, the only exercises that matter to me are leg press, pulldown, and shoulder press. I may experiment with dropping other exercises to focus on those, but I think I should spend more time with my current routine before trying that.
1/21/20 Leg press 16x215 per leg, seat 3, seat back 3 -> 215. Leg extension 12x90. Leg curl 12x50. Calf raises 13x- on the machine. Shoulder press 10x150->155. Chest press 6x130. Back extension 10x230. Pulldown 11x145. Row 7x85. Stomach 20x110. Leg press was disappointing - I've done 12 with 230 and 21 with 210, I was hoping for more than 16 with 215. But any progress at all is good. I was hoping for better with pulldown, since I only tied last time, but I am generally pleased with the rest. And last time I did pulldown before chest and shoulders, this time it was after.
