Done with Stage 1. We finished the last workout last night and I hit triple digits on the deadlifts. Last set was 8 @ 100 lbs. The rest of the workout looked something like this:

Deadlift: S1: 8@85, S2: 8@95, S3: 8@100
Shoulder Press: S1: 8@15, S2: 5@20, 3@15, S3: 4@20, 4@15
Lat Pull Down: S1: 8@70, S2: 5@70 3@85, S3: 6@85
Lunges: All Sets: 8@20
Crunches: S1: BW 20, S2: 15# 20, S3: (On incline bench) BW 15

Afterwards, LisaC and I did a couple practice runs of the new exercises in Stage 2. We will probably start on Thursday. Saturday at the latest. We got a friend of ours started on the program and she's almost done with Stage 1. We'll all start together with Stage 2.

No pics yet, but I can tell that my body is changing. The scale says nothing new, but that's to be expected.... right? No news is good news? Upper body strength has improved greatly. Legs feel super strong. My challenge is to keep the flexibility I've gained through martial arts while building strength.

See you in Stage 2!!!
