Last A workout of stage 4! Moving right along
Bench Press
5x45
5x65
3x75
1x95
0x105 - I tried! I got it about 4" above my chest and then it just stopped... next time!

Stage 4, A4

Front squat/push press
1x6x57
1x8x57
1x7x57 (couldn't quite eek that last one out!)

Step-up
3x8 @17.5e

Dumbbell one-point row
3x8 @30e

Static lunge, rear foot elevated
3x8 @20e

Push-up
3x8 (floor) no T-pushups today. The bench presses wore me out!

Plank
I have noticed that I've had a hard time with these lately. I think it's from the bench presses wearing me out as well as doing T-pushups last time. My triceps just give out about 90 seconds in. The lactic acid buildup is more pain than I can handle.
90 sec
105 sec
90 sec

skipped the woodchops. le sigh.

I am really amazed at how much more flexible I am, just from these routines. I can bend so much farther than I used to in my stretching. Love it.
