Friday: lifting with some PRs

Good session this morning:

A1: Push-press
45x8
50x8
50x8
45x8

A2: leg press
320x10
345x10
345x10
345x10

A3: Straight bar pulldown
80x10
90x10
90x10
90x10

B1: leg extension
144x10
144x10
144x10

B2: single arm tricep pushdown
20x10
20x10
20x10

B3: incline bench
45x8
45x8
45x8

lat raises
12x10
12x10

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

B2: face-pulls
80x10
90x10
90x10

B3: bicep curls
30x10
30x10
30x10

C1: Hamstring curl
60x8
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.

Thursday April 19th

Circuit training this morning.

But first yesterday:  did about an hour of yard work, and that is HARD WORK.  Cleared out the garden space and the front plot.  I have to put down some compost top soil before planting, but at least it is cleared out.  But I was wiped.  Ended up napping in the afternoon.

This morning:

30 tuck jumps
40 mountain climbers
10 push-ups
20 burpees
20 rope swings
40 lunge jumps
10 medicine ball throws, each side
20 step-ups
20 v sit ups

Repeat 3x.

Then

40 jumping jacks
12 bw dips

repeat 3x.

Done.

100x5; 90x5

A3: db bench press

B2: lat raise

Felt good.  Didn't feel like doing squats.  I think I only do them because I 'should' do them.  I feel I get more out of the single leg work, so perhaps I will just stick to that for awhile.

Will bike for a bit later

missed a day

I did lift yesterday.  Just didn't get a chance to get it down.  But rather than try to remember, I'll just say it went pretty well and it was a nice full body.

Did some circuits this morning:

50 jumping jacks
50 mountain climbers
12 pushups touching shoulders
20 burpees
20 v sit ups
20 step-ups
20 get-ups
12 girlie push-ups

repeat 2x

Then I did 30 walking lunges and 20 twist sit ups...repeat 2x

Took just over half an hour.

Going to be hot today.  Again.
