Today, Wed:
AM: Stage 2 Workout B:
-Wide Grip DL from Box: single step; 85# total (41# bar + 40#) 2x10
*better form on this. think i got it now.

-Bulgarian Split Squat: 2x10@45# bar
*better form. understand the difference between this and raised leg lunge

-Underhand Grip Lat Pulldown: 1x10@100#; 1x10@105#
*still had good form on these-- this gives me such hope for doing pull ups! 55# to go!

-Rev lunge from box, reach: did these from a bench instead: 2x10 w. 12# DBs
*these were much harder from the bench. felt it a lot in my quads, whereas last time i felt it in my back

-DB prone cuban snatch: 1x10 w. 5# weights; 1x10 w. 8# weights
*last time I had really bad form doing these. the 5#s were too light, the 8#s were more of a challenge. man, i felt wussy using those little girly weights.

-Swiss Ball Crunch: 2x10 w. 35# weights
*after I get to the point where I'm lifting the 45# plates I'm not sure what I can do to make these harder. 45# is as heavy as my gym goes for a single plate

-Reverse Crunch: 1x10@12#; 1x10@20#
*again, i don't know how to make these harder. the heaviest weight my gym has that i can keep between my knees is 20#

-Lateral Flexion: 2x10
*did the 4th position with my feet against the wall-- thanks for that tip, missjane, it worked v. well.

-Prone Cobra: 2x30; 1x60
*how can i keep myself up like this without holding my breath? difficult. i think i'm doing something wrong.

no cardio afterwards... i'll have to keep doing that on off-lifting days. it's too exhausting.
