This was a heavy lifting week for sure. I mean, every week is tough, but it was so tough this week I had to have weight taken off some of the machines. Yeah, that never happens to me.
I worked out with Sarah on Sunday and Wednesday. Both days were total body days.
Sunday start with step ups on the step up machine. I hate that machine, I much prefer the step aerobics step ups. But I do appreciate how much harder the machine is, I just don't have to love it.
Wednesday started with front squats, which I don't think we've ever done, at least the way we did them that day. I only lifted the bar, which was 45 pounds, but it was still a challenge and the hand/arm placement was a little awkward. I did get through 2.5 sets before I had to change it up because of the strain on my wrists. Then we did deadlifts with 85 pounds. I've done 85 pounds before, but maybe I was just too tired. Who knows. Again, I did 2.5 sets before Sarah took off 10 pounds and I finished that last half set.
Most disgusting of all was the rowing machine. We've only used it twice, but it is still awful and brutal. My quads were burning a little. The worst thing about the rowing machine is getting out of it because your legs are jelly and you're trapped in the foot pedals. I always take forever to get out of the foot pedals and that's a workout in itself.
It was a good week. It was rough. I was sore on Thursday and crazy sore on Friday.
