Workout:
Overall it was a good workout today. Nice to change it up a bit. I had been working the August TT Hot Zone Fat Loss the last few weeks.

General Stats:
Workout: TT 2K3 Workout A (from the Original Workout Manual)
Overall work time: 26:06 (mins)

I was pleased with the amount of weight I was able to use. Although I had a reality check after the first set of DB Chest presses. I managed the first set with a pair of 85# DBs. But there was no way to complete 2 more sets in good form...so I backed it down to 75#. That was much better. It was still a challenge at reps 6, 7 & 8...but I could maintain proper form and rhythm. (explode out...2 secs down)

Used a pair of 65#s for both the rows and the DB incline press and a pair of 30#s on the curls.

Had to make a couple of substitutions:
Chin Ups: My chin-up bar isn't here yet...(ordered last week)...so I substituted the reps with BB rows with 130 pounds.
DB Incline Curls: I can't do these the way by bench inclines...so I did them sitting on a stability ball.

Interval Workout A: 20 mins. (Treadmill set on a 2% incline)

So those are my marks on this workout. I'll use these numbers this month and work to set some personal bests.

Workout B will be on Wednesday.
