No camera yet for before shots. Or for the workout room. (Note to self: borrow camera.)

Came home sick from work; slept. Still feeling TKD from last night. And the blisters on my big toes, bleh, I can hardly put weight on them. I'm transitioning from MWF to THS, so tonight seemed like a good idea to do my third workout of the week. Meh, maybe it wasn't...

Stage 1, B6

Deadlift: (1x5x20lb, 1x5x50lb) 2x9x70, 2x9x50*
DB Shoulder Press: 3x10x15 lb each
Wide Grip Pulldown: 3x10x45 lb
Step Ups**: left: 1x10x15 lbs each; 1x5x15, 1x5x10; 1x10x10
right: 1x5x15 lbs each, 1x5x10; 1x10x10; 1x10x15
Crunches: 3x12x10 lbs (long arm, Swiss ball)

*first x70 lb was too low on the ground--felt it in my back, right below my ribcage. Next 3 sets were raised about 6 inches; bar in middle of shins. Still felt in my back. Argh! I have the up; I can't seem to get the down: my back falls apart (upper back rounds), the weight hits my legs, and I end up squatting down and GM'ing the weight over and down. Last rep on each set I dropped the weight. And that's doing better than last time since I did start from a dead stop every rep this time and so had half a second to reposition. I want DL .

**Couldn't put weight on my toes because of the blisters, so subbed step ups for lunges. Grip failed again, which is why the sets are spazzoid.

Off to re-read everything & watch every video on DL. I'll see about a camera and the camcorder tomorrow. I want DL.

Tuesday I'll moan about squats, I'm sure. Argh.
