Done with stage 1
My last AMRAP today - I'm so excited to get ready for stage 2!!!
Deadlift - warmed up with an empty bar, then did 75# x 25 and then I was worried my form was slipping a bit, no point hurting myself.
Shoulder press - 20# db's x 28 reps (not too bad, I was trying for 30 but barely got rep 28 up).
Lat pulldown - I was struggling at 130# at the end of the stage, and I'd started at 100# so I knew it wasn't gonna be a huge set today - got 22.
Lunges - held 2 10# db's and got to 25 (each leg, alternating). Since this still is a largely bodyweight exercise, I knew it'd be tough. I REALLY had to push to get to 25, but I also know my form was a LOT better (straighter back, deeper lunges) than at the beginning.
Ball crunches - I did these holding a 6.2# ball overhead. Got to 35... weird thing was I started to feel cramping up in my obliques more than in front... weird!
I didn't feel super worn out (ok, the lunges were tough, but I'm a masochist) so I did 4 sets of burpees and then 4 sets of box jumps. It's officially a tie: I hate burpees AND box jumps!
Busy weekend running kids around to sports, etc, so I'm not sure I'll get any workout at all tomorrow, but if I can, I want to do some HIIT...
Also a little unsure of food 'cuz we're going out to a big event tonight and I don't know what the menu will be.
