I just did S6B4. The entire time I was at the gym two guys were staring at me like I don't know what. And, it wasn't my imagination--my BF noticed it too. We've been laughing and joking about it ever since. They were new to the gym; at least neither of us had ever seen them there. And, if anything, we should have been looking at them like they were insane bacause one of them had a hand towel tied around his head. My guess is that they're just not used to a small red-head with glasses lifting weights with the boys. BF thinks that it's because a small red-head with glasses lifting weights with the boys is hot. My reply to that is, well, I was sweating a lot!
Anyway, here's the workout minus the funny looks...
1 db reverse lunge: 4 sets 4 @ 55lbs. (+5lbs)
2 pt db row: 4 sets 4 @ 45lbs. I couldn't quite get the 50lb up and keep any sort of form.
db push press: 2 sets 4 @ 30lbs (+2.5lbs), 2 sets 4 @ 27.5 lbs. On the 4th rep on the 2nd set, I tweeked my shoulder brining the weights down. So, I lowered the weights, just to be on the cautious side. I'm glad I did because I made it through the rest of the workout without pain, but, when shooting baskets with BF, it started flairing up again. I'm going to put some ice on it here in a bit.
Back Extensions: 3 sets 4 @ 45lbs.
Incline Reverse Crunch: 3 sets 4 at a very steep angle--this is when BF noticed the looks.

Today I officially gave BF notice that we are getting back on track with eating. No more crap! He's not too happy about it. But, really, as long as there's food, he'll eat it.
Great strong workout and on the looks in the gym! I get looks too sometimes, especially if I go at a different time than usual. Obviously you were impressive!

Good luck on the eating thing...we're all struggling a bit now but it's encouraging to read how many have struggled but persevered and are improving.
