Tasty Tuesday and Dreaming of Big, Beautiful Biceps!

Last night's meal was grilled/broiled turkey steaks, steamed green beans, boiled polka dot corn on the cob and salad with fresh bean sprouts.
After pounding the turkey steaks, I marinated in a bit of olive oil, lemon juice, heaps of oregano, minced garlic and a sprinkle of salt and pepper for about 1/2 an hour. I cooked on the oven griller for 10 minutes each side...probably should have only done 5 minutes after turning over; they were tasty but a teensy bit dry. I served the steamed beans with balsamic vinegar, and since I'm not currently training for a comp-drizzled a bit of my fave ranch dressing on the salad...YUM!

Another thing I'd like to share today is one of my fave inspirational pics.......Melita Jagic:
I know many figure and bodybuilder folks have already seen this pic and know of Melita Jagic..she is just such an inspiration! And, I love her biceps (not to mention her abs & thighs!) That is my goal this year....whether I decide to compete next year or not-I’ve been working very hard at improving my bis. They are definitely a weak point for me....not just in looks but in strength as well.

Todays workout....
BACK:
Pull-ups (which I have not done in months due to a bum pec/shoulder thing-so these were super shabby!) I managed a max of 4-OMG...and that was really pushing it....that was the second set-I only could eak out 2 on the lst and 3rd set.....Just goes to show if you don't use it, you lose it- but I’m back on the program to get back up to 7 or 8. Consistency is the key!

Seated lat pull downs-I did 5 sets of 12 on these.

Seated pulleys- 4 sets of 12

Close grip pull downs -4 sets of 10

BIS:
Preacher curls with dumbbells...3 sets of 8

Curl bar curls-3 sets of 5 at what felt fairly heavy-but I know I’ve gone heavier in the past-it was only 15kilos!....I’m working on them!

TRIS:
Bench dips (12) superset with dumbbell skull crushers 4 sets

Rope tricep pull downs 4 sets.

I must have done something right-because my back, bis and tris are all just the right amount of sore today....gotta love that!

Have a great day!
