Stage 5-B-1 August 11, 2008
It feels so awesome to be back to the gym and lifting again! I can't believe I missed it.
I'm still glad even after today's 2 hour workout!
Warm-up: 14 min on TM, BW squats, reverse lunge with twist, inchworm, side lunges
Romanian deadlift with bent-over row Set 1 65/4 Sets 2-3
70/4
Partial single-leg squat Sets 1-4 25/4
Wide grip lat pulldown Set 1 60/4 Sets 2-3
75/4 Set 4 100/4 (On Set 4 I switched to standing because I wanted to reduce it to 70. I'm sure the pulleys at the new station must have made it easier. I had to move up to 100 just to get to where I was at the seated station. I'm so short that my legs cannot reach under the pad thingies unless I tilt way back...or I don't use the leg thingies)
Back extensions Set 1 35/4 Sets 2-4 25/4
The gym branch I went to didn't have 35# plates. I tried to do it holding a 25# and a 10# but that was very difficult. The 45# is too bulky to maneuver, so I just did 25# and bent really low.qwz)

Swiss Ball Crunch Set 1 25#chest/4 Sets 2-4 16#overhead/4
Hip Flexion Sets 1-4 Prone jackknife/4
