Back/Shoulders/Arms

1. Warm up - boxing! I'd like to think I was so intimidatingly strong at punching that everyone in the room left.
2. Lat pulldown 5kg (5 x 10)
3. Seated rows 6kg (5 x 10)
4. Chest press 5kg (2.5 x 10)
5. Pec deck 5kg (3 x 8)
6. Deltoid raises 2kg (3 x 10), 3kg (1 x 8)

7. Lat raises 2kg (3 x 10) - why was this so hard??
8. Bicep curls 3kg (3 x 10)

Not much today, but my upper back and shoulders ache like I've been sitting on a plane 8 hours...such a conflicting analogy considering I did anything but sit around all day for once

Chest day #1

Didn't get a chance to write down my workout at the time, but here's what I remember -

1. Bench press 10kg, worked up to 20kg I think - second time giving this a go but actually trying this time
2. Incline press - harder than I thought (I was probably tired from the regular bench pressing as well) and it felt really strange...could only manage the bar alone haha
3. Hack squat
4. Chest press - Could barely manage 5kg 1 x 5, was completely ruined from the bench pressing
5. Pec deck - likewise.

...okay that's either all I did or all I remember, and it doesn't look like much but it's been 4 days and my chest is still really sore and tight. Hopefully will get less painful once I work this into a regular schedule!

Leg burn

1. 15kg squat (2 x 10), 20kg (2 x 10), 25kg (2 x 5)
2. Hack squat, no weight (3 x 10) - first time using this machine...WEIRDEST FEELING EVER, LEGS SO JELLY AFTER
3. Standing rows 5kg (3 x 10) - first time using this too, I likey 
4. Back extension (3 x 1)
5. Bench press 10kg (3 x 10), 15kg (3 x 10) - first time bench pressing too! It didn't feel like what I expected, although I don't really know what I was expecting anyway...
6. Lat raises 2kg (3 x 10)
7. Deltoid raises 2kg (1 x 10), 3kg (2 x 10)

8. Bicep curls (1 x 10) - abandoned this cos I was really just procrastinating from working out my core
9. Sit ups, Russian twist 3kg ball, plank - ALL UNTIL FAILURE :'( repeat x 3

Round 2

1. Bike (3.77km in 10:38 mins)
2. Chest Press 5kg (1 x 10, 2 x 8) - still finding this so hard, but this explains my inability to do a pushup...
3. 10kg squat (1 x 10), 20kg squat (3 x 10), 25kg squat (1 x 10)
4. Tricep pushdown 7.5kg (3 x 10) - probably could've tried harder but I did this in my squat breaks. I think the old lady on the ergo was watching me, and went over to the tricep machine after I was done...except she added more weight to it and was mindlessly pulling on the thing as if it was super easy (okok I'm just jealous)
5. Lateral raises 2kg (3 x 10)
6. Deltoid raises 2kg (2 x 10)
7. Bicep curls 3kg (3 x 10), 4kg (1 x 10)
8. Seated rows 6kg (3 x 10) - I'm guessing the little circle weight things are 1kg each? I don't actually have a clue
9. Pec deck 5kg (3 x 10)
10. Seated leg press 15kg (1 x 10), 17.5 (3 x 10) - my ass hurts now

Full Body Workout (Leg Dominant)

1. Bike (4km in 10 mins)
2. First time trying the leg press machine - started off on 7.5kg but it was too light, so I moved up to 15kg (3 x 10)
3. Attempted chest press but pretty sure I injured something after last time...not a good feeling of pain, so I stopped
4. 10kg squat (2 x 10), 20kg squat (5 x 10)
5. Tried the leg extension machine on 5kg. Couldn't carry on after doing 2 reps so I gave up on that too - maybe one day!
6. Back to leg press (2 x 8)
7. Seated rows 5kg (3 x 10)
8. Tricep pushdown 7.5kg (2 x 10) - this initially felt too easy, but then Lawrence reminded me to keep my elbows in place and suddenly 7.5kg got more difficult. Moved up to 10kg (4 x 8) even if it was kinda hard, so I struggled a bit but it was good struggle?
9. Abdominal crunch machine 7.5kg (3 x 10)
10. Calf raises 10kg (4 x 10) - weight of the machine on my shoulders hurt more than the actual calf raise, and now I have weird marks on my shoulders that'll probably bruise tomorrow...

This list is probably inaccurate since I can't really remember all the weights and what order I did everything in, plus I got to play with some new machines today so I was still sorta experimenting. Once I know how to use all the machines and know what weights are comfortable for me, I'll stop being less lost/whiny/annoying (sorry bebe) and start keeping track of what I'm doing. Also I got really mad at my earphones at the start of my workout because one of the earbuds broke and ruined my mojo, hrmph.
