Your workouts are looking good. Don't worry about not getting sore--you're right, sometimes learning new exercises causes us to lower the weight until we get the movement down correctly. You'll bump it up soon enough.

Some remarks:
Your FSPP weight is really good! Have you watched a video at all to make sure the awkward feeling isn't incorrect form? Anyway, good job on that.

I wouldn't hold onto something during the row in workout A. This exercises really works your abs also, as you have to keep your core tight in order to keep stable. You should get the hang of it pretty quickly.

If you are getting the planks pretty easily you might want to switch to a 1 legged version. I never had that problem, lol!

Question: when you list your exercises that use dumbbells, are you listing the total weight or just which dbs you are using? (i.e. are you doing the cuban snatch with 10# dbs, or 5# dbs?) Just clarifying.

So good job getting through stage one--hope you enjoy stage 2 a little better as you get used to the new moves.
