20AUG: working with my limitations day 2

Well, it would seem that even rowing on Nautilus machines is too much for my knees, as I could feel the pain develop midway through the training session.  Ah well, still better that eating Vinegar & Salt chips and watching TV.

  1. Sauna:  5 mins
  2. neutral grip pulldown:  100lb x 10sets x 5reps (20 second rest or less)
  3. Nautilus isolateral row*: 80lb x 5sets x 10reps (wanted to get 10 sets but knee started feeling it)
  4. EZ-bar preacjer curl:  50lb x 10sets x 5reps
  5. Unilateral concentration curl**:  15lb x 4sets x 10 reps (wanted to get 10 sets but left knee couldn't support the left arm.  Started hurting at set 3, but I did 1 more anyway)

*Isolateral row machine:  That's a science-y word.  It must be better than barbell rows or 1-arm dumbbell rows.  :(

**Unilateral concentration curl:  1 arm at a time. I'll have to find an alternative, like seated incline curls.  My left knee did NOT like bracing the left arm.
