Here's B-2 (Tuesday) and A-3 (tonight):
Workout 1, B: 2x15
Deadlift - 50/15, 50/15
Dumbell shoulder press- 15/15, 15/13
Wide-Grip Lat pulldown - 55/15, 55/15
Lunge - 12.5/15, 12.5/15
2x8 Swiss ball crunch- 8, 8 (added a weight overhead to make this more challenging)
Workout 1, A: 2x12
Squats- 40/15, 40/15
Push-ups (30 degree)- bw/10, bw/12
Seated Row- 75/15, 75/15
Step-up (step w/ four risers) - 15/15, 20/15
2x8 Prone Jackknife - 10, 10 (I love these, they're so hard!)
So, I'm starting to inch up in weight but I have a few issues. The big one is my fear of the squat rack. I'm SO freaked out about doing it wrong or looking dumb or falling on my butt. My next workout A, though, I have to move up and I can't lift the 50lb bar over my head, so I just need to suck it up and do it.
Another suck: I didn't realize until just now that I was doing the pushups wrong! I was doing wide arm, not tricep pushups and dang, they are way harder with your arms in close. I might have to back up and do an easier version of these because no way can I do 10-12 of those at 30 degrees.
Good news: tonight when I did my rows I accidentally put the peg in at 75 instead of 60 and was four reps in before I noticed! That made me really happy.
