Thanks for the welcomes. Nice to meet y'all.

weight: 197.6

Warmup Deadlifts: 45x5,135x1

1A Deadlifts: 185x15, 185x15
1B Step Ups: 20x15, 20x15

2A 1 arm press: 30x15, 30x15
2B Close Grip Pulldowns: 100x15, 100x15

Reverse Crunches: 0x22, 0x22

I did the first set of deadlifts with overhand grip but my grip (which is the weakest link in the dead) started feeling weak so I shifted to mixed grip for the second set.
The stepups were hard. The first workout I had done with these, I had done short stepups because I thought the bench was higher than what they wanted... but it wasn't. So this workout, I stepped up onto my bench. I was gassed after each set of these. On the second set, second leg, I had to pause for a few seconds after the 10th rep. My bad knee actually feels fine during these although still weaker than my left leg.

The 1 arm presses were fine. But the close grip pulldowns were hard because my grip was wiped out.

Even though my workout room is in my house, the AC is mostly shut off in that room and it's HOT. I was soaked with sweat and totally gassed when I got to the reverse crunches. The second set, I did 15 and then paused for a couple of seconds before finishing the set.

I r wimp.

AND, I didn't do the intervals after this workout. I'm not sure if I COULD have but I had a phone conference and I wasn't sure I'd have myself together before the conference. So I skipped the Intervals. I'm going to do them a little later today.
