Stage 4-A-2 July 10, 2008
Warm-up: 5 minutes on treadmill, BW squats, side lunges, reverse lunge with twist
I tried the oly bar today but it was a no go. My left shoulder was screaming absolutely not! I think trying to stabilize the bar side to side was what my shoulder was most unhappy about because the up and down movement was fine due to being leg driven. I went to one of those EZ bars or Olympic curl bars or whatever you call them. I think it weighs 10-15 lbs. Does anyone know?

Cable Horizontal Wood Chop Sets 1-2 10/8
I absolutely had nothing left to give to the planks. I was feeling shaky - I guess I should have eaten more last night... I decided to quit while I was ahead and do a third set later today after I get some eats.
Overall, I'm happy with today's workout but I certainly feel like an old lady. My glutes are still talking to me. I can identify with Leigh's toilet test. This is good right - to have to hang onto the arm rails and haul your sore self up?
