I did groups of 2 exercises instead of 3...it was a little crowded and I was afraid to lose the squat rack.  Squats felt pretty good, actually.  I think I hit 90 last time I did them, so it was a little lower but still good.  I tried 100 on the face-pull, but that was too high...I could have probably done 95.  The bicep curl felt difficult:  probably because of the lat pulldowns I did earlier.  My abs are sore from the other day, and I could feel that in this workout.  But overall:  pretty good.

I am definitely stronger in the push-press.  I could easily do the 50s.  Concentrating on them once a week and doing the seated db presses must be helping.  I was pretty strong on the straight bar pulldown, which was good too.

Spent the late morning/early afternoon setting up for the tag sale tomorrow.  I had to help take out the racks out of storage, load up the truck, and set them up.  Once everything was set-up we were allowed to put out our own things for sale.  I'll go back tomorrow to buy some clothes, but everything of mine that does not sell will be donated:  it isn't worth it to me to go back later and pick it up.  I just don't care enough and we want to work on our playset.  That's on the agenda for tomorrow...

lifting the last few days

I missed updating.  I don't remember exactly what I did on Monday, but I do remember I hit some PRs on the bench and assisted row.  I'll have to remember that for next week.

Yesterday I ran intervals for half an hour.  2 min jog/1 min recovery.  I wish I didn't find it so boring.  Maybe as the weather gets better I will try it outside.

This morning was another lifting day:

A1: Single leg press:

90x10
90x10
100x10
100x10

A2: V-bar lat pulldown
90x10
105x5; 95x4; 85x3
105x5; 95x4; 85x3

And then someone took the machine.  Urg.

A3: incline dumbbell bench:
27.5x10
30x6
30x6
27.5x8

PR for that.

B1: hack squat
bwx10
20x10
20x10

B2: face-pulls
80x10
90x10
90x10

B3: bicep curls
30x10
30x10
30x10

C1: Hamstring curl
60x8
60x8

I think that was it.  Will try to bike later today.  It is going to be chilly so I probably won't go for a walk today.
