Stage 2 Workout A-1 May 13, 2008
Whew! After asking on the injuries thread, Julie said my shoulder sounds like a biceps tendon thing going on and to lay off presses. Well, I decided to see if the Front Squat/Push Press would be doable since it's supposed to be leg strength and not arm strength... I may have to lay off that one for a while...
Here's my workout which I must say was exhausting. I didn't sleep well the night before and I was just tired...
WU for 5 min on Elliptical, BW squats, Side Lunge, Reverse Lunge, Inchworm, YTWL for arms.
Front Squat/Push Press Set 1 45#/3 Set 2 10#x10#/6
Step-up Sets 1 & 2 10#+10#/10
One Point Row Sets 1 & 2 10#+10#/10
Static Lunge Sets 1 & 2 10#+10#/10
Push-up Set 1 30degrees/8 Set 2 45degrees/10
Plank Set 1 on elbows 45s drop to check time 15s Set 2 on straight arms 60s
Cable horizontal wood chop Sets 1 & 2 10#/10
I had to improvise for the static lunges and the wood chop. For the wood chop, I had to put an extra clip onto the cable of the seated row and attach the rope to that. I had to stand in front of the bench and do the best I could to pull it through. A little awkward with the bench there but doable. The static lunge I had to use the bottom piece of one of the benches to rest my foot on. All the steps were in the aerobics room and class was in progress.
Sigh. Overall, I feel like it was a dud workout. One of those, "Why am I doing this to myself, again?" days. I know I'll feel better tomorrow...
After working out, I went straight to a staff picnic at work. We played wiffle ball for over an hour, ate, then frisbee golf for another hour. I am officially zonked!
And one other thing. I was like a starved woman today. Huge appetite. Have to figure that out.
