So today's workout went well again. I was super happy to get to the gym because my in-laws are coming (for 2 weeks!) and I was able to avoid them for today by coming early to the gym
Plus I'm feeling stressed with the idea of them being here and lifting really helped alleviate that feeling. I don't get stressed normally so it's a really uncomfortable thing for me physically to walk around with a pit in my stomach.
Just wish I could go back again tomorrow... but I'm getting off topic.
Squats went really well. I went up on my toes a bit on the last few reps on the 2nd set so I don't think I'll add weight next time but if I can get all of them in next time with perfect form I'll add some weight. Next time is 3 sets of 10 so that will change the dynamic I'm sure.
Pushups went well, i was definitely struggling on the last few. I'd estimate one more set at the same incline and then go one notch lower after that.
Seated rows I increased to 50lbs on the 2nd set and that was a nice struggle, but I did well with it and stayed in form.
Step-ups were a pain, but I managed those. Not ready to add weight yet since I'm not super stable with them yet.
And I did reverse crunches instead of the jackknife again since I didn't have a swiss ball available.
