2nd starts, 2nd week, Stepping it UP

OK so here it is....I am stepping it up. I am weight training 4 days a week instead of 3 days and I will be following each weight day with at lease 20 to 30 minutes of cardio (usually treadmill). Goal is to lose the pounds but to shape these muscles.

I am upping my weights with lower reps. Since this is the first day of this new routine, I am stil figure what pounds to finish on...

This is what I am doing.
I do 2 sets of 12 at light weight (5lbs for now) and on the 3rd set pack on the weight to where I fail at 8 reps.

Here is the routine for mondays: my preference dumbbell use only (if I can)
Bench press : 5lbs x12 x12, 10lbsx12 (will need to increase last set lbs)
Flys : 5lbs x12 x12, 10lbsx10
Arnold press: 10lbs x12 x12, x12 (small increase)
Lateral raises: 5lbs x12 x12, x10
Tricep pushdowns: 10lbs x12 x12, 20lbs x8 (went to failure)
Wrist curls: 5lbs x 30

Meals:
ham,egg swiss crossiant (yuk, not another for a while)
20 diet coke

Lunch
homemade chili (leftover)
2 small cornbread

Dinner
2 soft tacos (made at home)
hand full of chips

snack
pudding with cool whip (YUMMY)


OK folks, keeping moving , smiling, and reading...til tomorrow
