Morning Cardio/Abs and Evening Workout of Back/Biceps

Was still pretty tired this morning when the alram went off at 7:00 but once I got around I felt pretty good and rested. Made it to the gym by about 7:30 (today was my first day at Gold's Gym since Aspen abruptly closed). Started on the upright bike today with a 3 min warmup and did HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) for 30 minutes followed by a 3 min cool down. My ab workout today was a little chaotic as I'm still trying to develop a good routine for myself. I need to create a consistent weekly ab routine that incorporates obliques and changes the exercies on a daily basis... but the workout today looked something like this...

Hanging Knee Raises: 30 reps
Cable Crunches: 2 sets x 30@80
Single-Arm Cable Crunches w/Twist (elbow to opposite knee): 2 sets x 40@40 (each side)
Sit-Ups (w/10 lb plate to chest): 2 sets x 30
Bench Crunches: 30 reps

Worked out with a good friend of mine, Braden Wallace. He is going to be my roommate and workout partner this upcoming year. The back routine was a very good, well-rounded routine that is sure to make us sore tomorrow and the bicep routine wasn't bad... but i've had better. Check it out!

Deadlifts: 4 sets x 12@135, 8@225, 10@225, 10@185
Pull-ups: 4 sets x 12,10,8, 8 (last set went behind-the-neck)
Cable Rows: 2 sets x 10@100
Machine Bent Rows: 2 sets x 10@45, 8@90
Barbell Curls: 3 sets x 10@95, 8@95, 8@85
Alternating Dumbbell Curls: 3 sets x 10@40
Single-Arm Cable Curls: 3 sets x 10@40, 10@40, 8@50

Taking the day off tomorrow to rest up and heal the "sore-to-be" lower back and any other tender muscles. Check back sunday for my leg routine.
