Sweet! I am done with Workout A!!!
final stats:
Squat: 75# (wow - I thought I'd be stuck with the bar for a long time)
Push up: final set of 8 from floor (elbows <90deg)
Seated Row: 85# (these make my eyes sweat)
Step up: BW on knee high step (did I mention that I hate these?)
Prone Jackknife: 15 (killer)
Velogirl and I brought a friend to the gym today whom we know would dig this workout - she's a very powerful cyclist. Showing her the moves and helping her fine tune her squat form made me realize just how far I've come over the past 6 weeks. Very cool. She did her 2x15 pushups at 45 deg and was surprised that they were harder than they look. I like that AC steers us women away from knee pushups because I can tell that my whole body really has gotten stronger in my progression toward the floor.
I hate doing pushups at TKD because we're on a padded and carpeted floor - I always feel totally lame that I haven't improved more. So it really surprised me to try them from the floor today and be successful! I'm glad they're in stage 2.
