And finally today's workout. I felt pretty good but I think my form was bad on the squat and I twisted my knee a little bit. I was able to finish the next set and I can get around fine but if I twist it a little bit it hurts pretty good.
Squat 2 x 15 @ 125
Static Lunge 2 x 15 @ 65
2-pt DB Row 2 x 15 @ 25/30 (30 lbs for the 2nd set)
Push-up 2 x 20
Decline Crunch 2 x 20
Then afterwards the guy to go to the gym with (but he is training for a triathlon so isn't doing NROL with me) wanted to test his 1RM on the bench press and I couldn't resist the temptation to see where I'm at. A year ago my 1RM was 225 lbs. Today I did the following on the bench press:
1 x 8 @ 95 lbs
1 x 5 @ 135 lbs
1 x 3 @ 165
1 x 5 @ 135
So I figure my 1RM is probably somewhere around 170 to 175. Not great but not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I probably weigh around 175 right now (the only scale is in the women's locker room) so I'm happy with where I'm starting out.
