It is nice to have someone who is used to nagging you to nag you to go to the gym. I woke up hypoglycemic this morning and felt like complete dog crap. A few extra carbs with breakfast perked me right up, but I felt so rotten this morning I might have skipped without her.
Anyway...
Todays Work:
Lil Bear:
Squat - 75 5x5, today was the first time she "felt" like there was a big heavy weight on her back.
Bench - 45lb bar 5x5, her shoulder still hurts but she wanted to play along and work on form
Row - 65 5x5
Dips - 4, 5, 3
Me:
Squat - Broom handle 4x5, Better. I have zero muscle strength out of the bottom. I think I'll be working body weight until I can do 5x10 (end of next week?). Atrophy is a mofo.
Bench - 110 5x5, focused on form and breathing. Hard to get away from the "in down, out up" habit. Worked hard on maintaining horizontal leg push and strong arch. Made these lifts *very* easy.
Row - 110 5x5, Still cake.
Dips: 8, 6, 7 - Need to start taking another 20-30 sec on the break between sets 1 & 2 as this has been a consistent pattern.
I built a "box" yesterday out of 2x4's and 1x3s 10.5" high to set the bar down on during our rows and Ang's deadlifts. Worked well as it gave us the standard 45lb plate height. Total cost was under $4 and labor < 1 hour.
Cheers.
