Seconded - Stage 2 incoming!

[LisaS]

Wide Grip DL from box.............: 45/10, 45/10

BSS........................... ....: 6/10, BW/10
Underhand Lat Pulldown............: 70/10, 75/10

Rev Lunge from box w/forward reach: BW/10, BW/10
DB prone Cuban snatch.............: 3e/10, 3e/10

SB Crunch........................ .: 10, 10
Rev Crunch........................ : 6/1*, BW/10, BW/10
Hanna #1..........................: 10, 10

Prone Cobra.......................: 45s...15s, 40s...10s

Interval Training: (on elliptical)
3 min #1
2 min #2
1 min #4
1 min #1 - stopped to not have dry heaves

Done.

Notes: Used 6# med ball for the 1st set of BSS.
Tried Rev Crunch holding 6# medicine ball between knees - dropped it onto my chest on the first rep (missed my face nutbar ) - went with body weight after that.

Felt sick after the prone cobras so waited almost 5 mins to start the intervals. Started them, OK through the warm up, did one easy-ish interval, felt really sick again - stopped during the active recovery. Didn't really want to have a vomitastic workout (no offense RW) so I stopped. Probably didn't have enough to eat today or something.

Probably a good idea to stop working out so you didn't

Nice workouts, Lisa!! You are doing great with Stage 2. I hate getting those waves, during workouts.

Congrats on moving forward with stage 2! Looks like a tough workout, yikes!

Front Squat.......:45/5 35/5, 45/6 35/5

Step Up...........: 10e(+5)/10, 10e/10
DB 1-pt row.......: 15e(+5)/5L,5R, 15e/5L, 5R

Static Lunge, RFE.: 5e(+5)/10, 5e/10
Push Up...........: BW/10, BW/10 (#6)

Planks*...........: 60s, 60s
DB horiz wood chop**: bar/10, bar/10

Notes:
*Used an easier variation of the plank to get a 60s continuous hold.
**Sub'd Corner Twist using just the bar. Did 10 reps per side. I didn't like the floor version and don't like the ball version. This isn't strictly horizontal but it allows me to twist and move the hip properly I think. (Open to other opinions).

In other news:
I got a wicked nocturnal calf cramp on Sat AM - about 5AM - it has been so long since I got one of those I had forgotten just how painful they can be. As an after effect, my calf locked up on me the entire day after that if it got just a little stress. That's why I moved the workout with the FS/PP from Sat to Sun.

[L'ilJ]

Yikes, those calf cramps can HURT. Drink some water, take some magnesium, feel better.

Nice progress with the workouts!

[LisaS]

Hi Jill - thanks for stopping by. I think the calf DOMS is all but gone now - didn't bother me going "up on toes" for the PP so it's all good.

When I started doing these it wasn't unusual for me to have my hands up so as to prevent the ball from smacking me in the face.

[LisaS]

hehe. I think I was concentrating on a little adduction to "hold" the ball - and inadvertantly did a squeeze that just launched it. Who knew there was a skill to "hold the ball between your knees"?

[kfisherx]

Hmmmm... Between your nausea during the workout and the cramps I would suspect you are not drinking enough overall. Just a thought.

The best quote that you will never get to read in my log.

But you do need to update your log.

Hey Lisa, I went hiking in the hills above Summerland. I went with my boss after work. We just meandered the trails, they were easy but it was uphill all the way so I was a sweaty gasping mess at the end! Anyhoo, I added some weight to my pockets w/ pilfered avocados and lemons from the orchards :-0

How are you? Did you start another journal or just lagging here? Come on down (said in my best Bob Barker voice)!!

Toni

[LisaS]

[gasp - you found me] - just lagging here.
A family member had major surgery in March and while I've been working out sporadically I haven't been logging - but I've been commencing to get ready to start logging again - maybe a new log is in order as well.

[Deserve]

We're just trying to keep you on the straight and narrow.
