Thank you Caligurl! Wow, I'm pretty sure I can't do all that with 15's. Oh well I think I'm usually a couple pounds below Kelly's weights.

I did the total body premix today and really felt it worked me overall. I too was in awe of the shoulder press but I thought she was holding 12s rather than 10s? The time went quickly and I liked that she switched quickly from exercise to exercise. Since you pretty much need only a few sets of dumbbells there isn't the scrambling to get the proper weight. I'm glad Kelly stuck with just Sam and Lauren this time--the three of them seem to click so well together.

My new KCMs came yesterday and I was really surprised because I thought I remembered her saying they would ship on April 15.

I also did the long total body premix in Split Sessions. I did it late last night and I didn't feel anything this morning, but I can feel my back, biceps and obliques starting to get sore in the last few hours. (I used 8s, 10s, 12s, 15s and a 20).

During that single-arm overhead press Kelly says something like "I don't worry about people saying 'You're not controlled' when I do explosive movements. Yes I am!" I laughed. I was able to do the first round of those with two 10s in one hand, but my form was starting to go the last couple of reps, so I went to 8s the second time. All I need is to do is drop a 10-lb weight on my head.

There was also a point near the end of the workout when she said "Don't stop because it's hard. Keep going because it's hard." I need that on a t-shirt, a poster, a bumper sticker and a water bottle.

This September will make 15 years that I've been working out, and this 30 MtF series has kept me from missing workouts dozens of times. I think she's really onto something with these.

I did the UB workout today. I have to admit that I appreciate the low equipment and quick workout times of Kelly's workouts.

tltinatl, I think "Don't stop because it's hard. Keep going because it's hard." would make a great signature quote for you!

I did Split Sessions Upper Body this morning. I really like this workout. This workout is what I have been wanting for the most part. A time efficient, push-pull workout.

Here are a few thoughts I have and a couple of minor modifications I made:

With two sets you could increase or decrease the weights on the second set, making it a mini pyramid up or down.

I did modify a couple of the exercises a bit because my right upper shoulder/neck have been stiff the past two days and I'd rather not have it flare up. For chest flys I subbed a chest press on the second set (did flys on the first round at 10# instead of 15#). I did this to keep myself from shrugging my shoulders and compensating for a heavy weight since I haven't really done that much weight training as of late and since I didn't know the workout, I thought I would play it safe.

On the standing overhead triceps extensions I subbed a lying double arm french press on the incline bench and for decline triceps dips I did a triceps press on the bench (the kind where you keep your elbows by your ribcage and press upwards with palms facing your sides).

On the upright rows I substituted double-arm side lateral raise with a slight anterior tilt to help keep my traps out of the movement. Since she is going slow (3 up, 1 down) I could focus on keeping the traps out of it at a lighter weight (8#).

I really enjoyed this workout. Hoping to do lower body tomorrow!
