Today was my second to last workout in Stage 5 of NROL4W. I don't normally count down my workouts in a stage, but I really don't care for this stage. I'll be happy to move on.
My workout:
One arm DB snatch: 4 sets of 4 reps 45#
DB SL Romanian DL: 4 sets of 4 reps with 40# each hand
BB bent over row: 4 sets 4 reps 105#
DB Single arm OH squat: 4 reps 17#/40#, 3 sets 4 reps 20#/40#
DB Incline Bench Press: 6 reps 40# each hand, 3 sets 40# each hand
Plank: 105 sec on floor, 90 sec on floor, 70 sec on floor
Rev wood chop: 32.5+# 3 sets of 4 reps each
BW Matrix done twice
I think I'm losing some brain cells the longer I spend in the weight room. Today I did the Single arm OH squat with a 17 and a 40 instead of a 17 and a 35. I didn't realize this until I went to do the second set. Following along with this... I did my first set of incline BP with 40's, thinking they were 35's. When I realized my error, I was kind of glad because those were two exercises that I haven't moved up in weight in a while, but wasn't sure I could handle the 5# jump to the next level. One note about the DB bench presses... I have such a hard time getting the DB's up into position with my right arm. Once I get them into position I'm fine, but I really struggle. Today I had one of the trainers help me to get the weights up for the middle two sets, but she was busy for the last set, so I just did one arm at a time.
Doing much better foodwise today. I keep a written food log and give myself a sticker each day that I stay below 1700 calories for the day. I'm pretty confident today will be a sticker day, it's been several days since I had a sticker day.
Tomorrow is swimming, then the last day of stage 5 on Friday, yay!
