Stage 2-A-2 May 20, 2008
Today's A workout went slightly better than the first one. I say slightly because I had to modify to make up for my gimpy shoulder and I also did something to my left front leg (I guess that would be the quad?) during the first set of step-ups which made the rest of the workout a little more challenging (esp. the static lunges!) I also had to do squats after the step-ups/one point rows because someone was using the squat rack to do curls...
Warm-up for 6 minutes of treadmill. Forgot to do my specific warm-ups that I usually do and paid for it by pulling a quad during my first exercise set. I did a good stretch at the end, though.
Front Squat Push Press - didn't even attempt these due to the shoulder thing. Did regular squats instead.
'Set 1 55#/10 Set 2 60#/10
Step-ups Sets 1-2 10#/10 on bench
Dumbbell One Point Row Set 1 10e/10 Set 2 15e/10
Static Lunge Sets 1-2 BW/10 (started with 10s but owie on the left leg)
Push-ups Set 1 30degrees/4 45degrees/6 Set 2 45degrees/10
Cable Horizontal Woodchop Sets 1-2 10/10 (I tried to go up to 20 but couldn't...)
Plank Set 1 Elbows/60s Set 2 Arms/60s - did 2 quick pikes at 20s intervals to stop the shaking.
The workout went quickly but I was sure sweating it at the end... My left leg feels better today. My left arm/shoulder is still feeling the push-ups. I'm going to make a trip to the doctor to have it checked out since it doesn't seem to be improving. He'll probably just tell me I'm getting old...and I can live with that. I just don't want to be stupid.
