Today started pretty swimmingly with arms and abs. I took someone's advice from one of the chat rooms and did abs with a bit of weight and, surprise surprise, it was very very hard. Am predicting that I may not be able to sit up to get out of bed tomorrow. During the bicep 21s I seem to have pulled something in my left deltoid (I think). It's not sore, just slightly achy. I think it's just bad luck as my form was pretty good and the weight wasn't much - it didn't feel like I was straining too much, it was just fatiguing my arm (a lot - ouch - more funny faces), so it's a bit of a puzzle. Pretty sure that yoga on Sunday will straighten it out. Anyway - here's how it went (oh, and for all you 'mericans - these weights are in kilo's - so I'm not a "total" pussy - just a semi one).

Declined Bench Tricep Extensions - 2 x 12 x 11, 2 x 10 x 16
Lying Cross Face Triceps Extensions - 1 x 12 x 7, 2 x 10 x 10 (form dodgy here - will try to improve next time - my gym doesn't have 9kg weights darn it)
Reverse Grip Tricep Cable Pushdown - 2 x 12 x 35, 2 x 10 x 42
Standing Dumbell Curls - 2 x 12 x 15, 2 x 10 x 20 (form ropey here too at the heavier weight)
Reverse barbell Curls - 2 x 12 x 11, 2 x 10 x 14
Seated Dumbell 21s - 2 x 21 x 5 (pulled a back muscle somewhere)
Lying Side Leg Raises - 2 x 25
Lying Front Kicks - 2 x 25 (ouch. did these very slowly)
Seated Twists - 2 x 25 x 6
Crunches - 2 x 25 x 5 (pretty tough but managed to do them pretty well)

25 minutes of cardio on a bike on the fat burn setting (so it kept my heart rate pretty low at 123)
