Chest and Back

I just bought some new weights at Target.  They were on sale yesterday so I could not resist.  They are Reebok, Speed Packs.  These particular weights remind me of the Blowflex Select-tec just a lot cheaper.  The ones I bough come in 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 lb intervals.

So, my main reason for getting heavier weights was I never had anything higher then 10 for my back work.  So, I wanted more!

Tonight, just happened to be back and bi, perfect to test out my new toys!

I have to say, I love my little toys.  The only issue, I found myself pausing the DVD more to change out the weights until I found the one that worked best for me!

The other thing I noticed, is I really wanted to push my limits!  I wanted to use those 15 lb weights for everything!  It did not take more then a few reps to realize and also be told by my admiring husband, that my form was way off!  So, I did the right thing, I decided that I needed to go back to my 10 pounds!  I guess what I need are 12's and I don't have those.  So, what I said I would do, where I could with good form, nail out 1 or 2 with a 15 lb weight, then I would do that and then I WOULD lower to my 10's to finish the set.  I figured I would push it where I could, but I would not take the time to injury myself!  I would not let my head tell me I could do something that my arms/back and rest of my body were all telling me- YOU NEED TO BACK OFF or you could end up regretting this.  So, I did not let my ego get in the way!  I did what I had to, and lowered my weights.  My toys will be here when I can really use them, until then I will be smart about what I do.

I just wish I had the middle ground of a few 12 pounders.  But as I sit here any look around my living room I see it filled with workout DVD's, weights of varying size, resistance bands, ankle weights, hand weights,.... And I am complaining that I am missing a weight I need.  I guess, a girl is never happy!

I also know that I see my reflection in the window as I do my workout and I see my muscles popping and I say- Yeah, I may not have the weights I want, but boy am I happy with my results.
