finished stage 5 today.

phase 5, workout B4

deadlift/barbell row: 2x4x85, 2x4x95
assisted pistol squats - 4x4
wide-grip pulldown - 4x4x80
good mornings (instead of back extensions) - 2x4x85, 2x4x95
YTWL - 4x4x10. I never increased weight on these, though my ROM improved. I started out too heavy.
ball crunches - 4x4x25lbs
rev crunches - 4x4xhold for 3s
side crunches - 4x4x15lbs
prone cobra - skip
2 chin-ups (feet on swiss ball for assistance)

I also weighed myself this afternoon and weighed in at 146.0 (I was 147.8 on sunday). I think the fat fairy came recently; I feel like I've lost fat. I feel thinner in the middle. The scale said 27% body fat. When I started this whole shin-dig, it put me at 33% in the afternoon. So... that's a good thing. I started at 156 pounds in January, so that means I've lost about 12 pounds of fat... hm, and gained 2 pounds of muscle? Sure feels like a lot more than that.
