Mentally this is the most difficult workout for me. Doing 18 reps is just not something that I am used to and I really have to push myself to get through it.
The first set of squats was not as difficult as I expected. The 2nd set was much more difficult, but I did complete it.
The biggest challenge were the lunges, since my legs were already fried from the squats. I kept the weight low and just tried to keep moving. I really wanted to put the bar down and quit after 10-12 reps, but I forced myself to keep going to the end.
I did a much better job of weight selection this week and pushed myself to get all 18 reps in every set. I will admit to 1 rest at 12 reps during the 2nd set of bench press. But over all this was a much better performance than last week.
