Oh, you're totally right about that BioMeasure scale. It calculated bodyfat based on weight alone, which didn't account for the 4-5 pounds of water weight I was retaining last week. I'll have to hunt down someone at my gym who knows how to use calipers.
Okay, on to my workout from last Saturday:
Workout 1, B #6: 3x10
Deadlift - 65/10, 70/10, 70/10
Dumbell shoulder press- 20/10, 20/7, 15/10
Wide-Grip Lat pulldown - 55/10, 50/10, 50/10
Lunge - 20/10, 15/10, 15/10 (My knees started giving me trouble so I dropped the weight a bit.)
Swiss ball crunch- 12, 12, 12
A good day, generally. It looks like my lat pulldown weight dropped a lot, but it's because I am using a different machine than the one I use during the week. On the Atlantis machine I can do 65lbs but on the other one (Precor?) I can only do 50-55lbs. Same exact type of cable machine, wildly different weights. Drives me crazy.
Anyway, my big breakthrough was deadlifting 70 pounds, mostly because a few months ago at the college gym, an Adonis-like young man asked me if I was using the 70lb pre-set bar that was on the floor near me. I told him I wasn't using it, and thanked him for thinking I could even pick it up. His response was, "Hey, you never know!" And he was right!
