Sunday was a full body day although it seemed pretty upper body heavy. We started with squat thrusters and leg presses. Then we moved onto the arms. One of the things I am super excited about was that I set a benchpress PR with 85 pounds!!!!
I did three sets of benchpressing. The first set was at 65 pounds, the second was at 75 pounds, and the third was at 85! I only did 6 reps in the third set, but who cares? I BENCHED 85 POUNDS!!! My goal for the end of this year was to be able to bench 85 pounds! I accomplished that, but I would now like 85 pounds to be my starting weight.
Added bonus, I wasn't sore the day or two after the workout!!!
Wednesday was sort of an old school workout. We did things we haven't done in a while. Walking lunges and Russian twists were things I hated and I thought were difficult. Now they are so much easier. I still hate walking lunges, but what are you going to do? One thing we've changed up is instead of doing traditional kettle bell swings, we are doing battle rope swings. I still get the sore feeling in my abs, but I don't have the pain in my left shoulder. The battle ropes also bring my heart rate way up and I need several minutes to rest and catch my breath before we move onto the next exercise.
Things are continuing in the right direction and I keep getting stronger.
Next week, Sarah and I will be working out on Monday and Wednesday afternoon.
