Just finished up the final “A” workout in the Break in phase. This thing was tougher than I ever thought it would be.
Today I went up on squats, lunges and rows.
Aaron, at Fitness Chronicles, suggested that I try “girl” push ups since I’ve been having so much trouble with the real ones. I did just that. The goal was 30 reps but that was not happening. I went nose to the ground in as controlled a manner as I could. I managed to get 2 sets of 20. I literally could not do one more either time. Those things are tough!
Push ups and swiss ball crunches were obviously body weight exercises. Here’s the progress I made on the three other lifts. All were 2 sets for 15 reps. Rest was 60 seconds.
Squats - 115lbs to 150lbs
Lunges - 20lb dumbbells to 40lb dumbbells (one in each hand)
Two-point dumbell row with elbow out - 20lb dumbbells to 35lb dumbbells
