STAGE ONE DONE!!!!! No AMRAP for me... Rest time has officially begun. It was a good final workout. 8 AM workout - my first early one. Banana and coffee for breakfast. Felt fine, better actually than on Saturday mornings.

Deadlift: 100 x 8 all three sets. Focused on glutes and felt it. I want to check shoulder form though. Should they be low and pulled back from the start, or is it okay to kepp them forward at the start of the lift and pull them back as I lift?

Shoulder Press: 30x8, 40x5, 40x6 finished sets w/30. Felt stronger than other times, still major imbalance.

Lat Pull down: 85x8. Very hard to squeak out. Second set found myself "bouncing" at the top for momentum. Better on third set.

Lunge: 20x8, 30x8, 30x8. No pain!!! Read somewhere that forward momentum should stop after step. This made a huge difference and probably saved my knee!

Crunches: 10#/15

I may still go with velogirl to try out movements for next workout to shorten the break in time. This is the most committed I've ever been to an exercise plan. good job me.
