weight: 198.2

Warmup Squats: 45x5, 115x2

1A Squats: 165x15, 165x15
1B Static BB Lunges: 115x15, 115x15

2A DB Rows (out): 40x15, 40x15
2B Pushups: 0x30, 0x30

Crunches: 35x20, 35x20

This workout actually seemed a little easier even though I upped the lunges an extra 5# just because it made loading/unloading the bar easier. I was still totally out of air and laying on the ground huffing and puffing between sets after the first set of lunges, but it was OK.

I've got three more workouts in this phase and one more squat/lunge day. I'm tempted to really push the weights next time. The most I've ever squatted for 15 was about 265 but there's no way I can do that for 2 sets, I'm not even sure I could do that for 1 set right now. But I don't think I'd be able to do another thing after that and I definitely couldn't do that supersetting... I mean if THIS is gassing me, I'd die or something. So... we'll see on Thursday what I decide to do. I might up the squat weight to 185 or 205, if I'm feeling my oats.

I can definitely do more on the rows, pushups, and crunches. Lunges, otoh, are staying right the hell where they are.

I did the intervals.

Anyways, we also made an offer on the house we went to see on Thursday, 5.5 acres and about a 4300 sq ft house. We'll have to put a barn on it but it's pretty nice.
