Well, the new workout is different, that's for sure. Unfortunately, some of the weights the software generated were just plain beyond me -- not only could I not do a set, I couldn't even do one rep! So I reduced the weight on those and will build them up as I can.
The Military Press is a problem. The Bowflex iTrainer software, y'see, is not actually designed for my model, but for a later model. Most of the time, it's not an issue, but sadly my particular machine isn't really set up to do a Military Press ... so I spent about 15 minutes trying to find a workaround (including going upstairs to find all the miscellaneous pieces in the hopes of finding a longer cable). I did eventually find a configuration for this machine that approximates the Military Press, but I have to hold my hands further forward than I would for a "standard" version -- greatly reducing the weight I can handle. So I had to set the weight to 20 lbs, down from the 55 lbs suggested by the software. Yikes. I've got some freeweights upstairs, I might try to do 55 lbs Military Presses with them.
softpaw!
