Very funny picture, Anne!
I bit the bullet and decided to jump right into Stage 4 today. I decided to do only 2 sets with maximum weights possible to start with. Is that the rationale of the choice of 2 or 3 sets?
Stage 4-1-A July 5, 2008
Warm-up: 3 minutes on treadmill
Front Squat Push Press - I did it! I finally can do these. The gym I went to today has preloaded bars so I used the 40 lb bar to try this move out. I moved down to the 30 to save the left shoulder.
Set 1 40/8 Set 2 30/8
Step-up Set 1 10e/8 Set 2 15e/8
Dumbbell One-point Row Set 1 15e/8 Set 2 20e/8
Static Lunge, Rear foot elevated Set 1 15e/10 Set 2 20e/8
Push-up Set 1 Bench/4 45/4 Set-2 45/8
Plank Sets 1-2 120s (ouch!)
Cable Horizontal Wood Chop Sets 1-2 20/10
Question: Are your arms supposed to be straight throughout the wood chop or can you bend them in between. I'm bending like I would if I was swinging an axe (since it's named wood chop after all) - split many a load in my day. Anyway, let me know. Thanks!
