You guys I had the best workout!!
I was really dragging this morning but was determined to show up and do the work. I went in to the gym determined to push myself. And I hit a PR! On the lat pull down I usually do a set at 40# and then a couple of sets at 50#. Today I set it at 40# climbed up on the seat grabbed on to the bar and knocked out my 10 reps with ease. I reached over to up the weight and realized there was a 10# weight plate added to it! SO I took it off and changed it to 75#. I did 3 sets of 5! The best part, the bodybuilder using the other side of the cable machine next to me kept looking at me (I look a little crazy hopping up on the seat to grab the bar each time I start a set) and when I was done he smiled and stuck his fist out for me to bump! lol
I didn't do so great with my first try on the bench though. I was wobbly. The bar feels like 45# I didn't use any plates. It's not too heavy but not light enough for me to control easily. I missed the hook when trying to re-rack the right side. I panicked for a second but I just used the other hand to get it up there. I will continue to practice with it but I wont rely on that movement alone until I build up strength.

Treadmill while stretching upper body 5 minutes
Assisted pull up machine 85#: supine pull up 5, scap pull up 3 sets 10 (my grip strength sux)
Bench press with bar (45#): 1 set 10, 2 sets 5
Lat pull down: 50# 10 reps, 3 set 5 75#
Over head press 30# easy bar: 2 sets 5, 2 sets 4
Tricep press:10 reps 40#, 4 sets 5 45#
Dumbbell curl 12# 3 sets 5 (not challenging enough)
Cable row (v bar) 60# 3 sets 5
Dumbbell curl 15# 6 sets 5 reps (perfect amount of weight)
Foam rolled hammies and glutes and back
Incline crunches 50

I came home and had a piece of dark chocolate oreo cake I made and Salmon and peas. An hour later I had cherries, sausage and eggs on Asiago foccacia. I also had a little breakfast and pre work out shake before the gym 👍

I ordered some knee sleeves. I can't wait for my next deadlift day. I saw a guy move a couple of benches out of the way and dead right in the middle without anyone complaining so I will do that next time.

Wow! 40# to 75#?!? That’s awesome!! I’m the same with the bar. It’s just awkward I think. Not really heavy but I can’t balance it well. I wish they had shorter bars for us females. I’m sure I could balance a 3-4’ bar at 45# better than the long one they have. If it were only 35# even better lol.

Very impressive.

Thanks 😄😄😄

Peeper that is probably why it feels awkward. Also, the first racking peg is kinda high. But I’m sure with some more practice it will get easier 😃

😁😁😁 I know guys it was exciting! Laree that is great! I wish I would have done this a year ago or 3! When I first saw deadlifting in some crossfit videos I saw on youtube. Oh well Live and Learn! I had another great work out today too

I think the first rack area or whatever it’s called is too high as well. The top one is arm length for me lol. Well just over. The benches aren’t made for us short girls!
