Workout phase 1, B7 today, and it went pretty well...
Deadlift 3x8 - 115 on first set, went so well I moved to 135 for the other 2 sets. Definitely felt it in my glutes and lower part of traps, so I think my form is ok.
Overhead DB press - 3x8 w/ 35# db's - I'm not ready to move up on this, even though I completed the reps.
Wide grip lat pulldown - 2x8 at 130, 1x6 at 130. Definitely got to failure on that 3rd set!
Lunges - 3x8 w/ 17.5# db's - will move up again next time, to 20# db's.
Ball crunches - still not feeling like these are hard enough, even holding a db w/ my arms straight over my head... Did sets of 10-12, trying to keep it slow and tight.
I've been looking over my macros, and while I'm getting about 30% protein on average, my fats are barely hitting 20%. I'll have to post my food for a critique... I do know a few things I could do, but it goes against everything I've struggled for - I could try switching from skim to 1 or 2% milk, going to full-fat cottage cheese instead of 2%, eating more nuts... It just seems that the majority of the foods I eat are l/f of f/f, and that's been an ingrained habit for 10 years (since I first started to lose all the weight).
