Workout A, Day 4
Warm up on recumbent bike, 5 minutes, level 3. HR 128
Squat: 80/12, 80/12 (noticed some lower back pain after squats today. Nothing horrible, just some overall tightness. Paid closer attention on my second set, and noticed that at the bottom of the squat, I am leaning forward, and my lower back is arching in. Need to have someone check my form)
Push-ups: 45 angle. 12, 12. (concentrated on keeping elbows closer to body. definately works the back muscles more than the chest this way)
Seated Row: 80/12, 90/12 (watch form. Was leaning forward and pulling with back towards the end of the second set.)
Step-ups: 15/12. 15/12 (some twinging in knees kept weight lower. Will up to 20 next time)
Prone jack-knife: 10,10 (70 cm ball)
Cardio: 6 minutes on other elliptical (no levels, just cross ramp and resistance) ramp at 10, resistance at 8. No intervals. Max HR 180 (at finish) 5 minutes later HR 134
