I have to remind myself sometimes that I’m voluntarily putting my body through this. I feel, yet again, like I just got beat up. Today was the first day where I actually hit failure on my lifts. That was pretty depressing. I overestimated my strength this time. Usually I underestimate for the first day.
Here are the stats. 15 reps, 75 second rests.
Deadlift - 15×150, 15×150, 15×150 (My grip is holding me back here. I can barely hang on to the bar for the last set.)
Dumbell incline bench press - 15×40, 15×45, 10×45
Bulgarian split squat - 15×30, 15×30, 15×30 (I’ve done these before. Still can’t figure out how to do them right.)
Mixed grip lat pulldown - 15×105, 15×120, 15×120
Romanian deadlift - 7×135, 15×115, 15×115 (I hope my back will forgive me for that first set. WAY too much.)
Swiss ball lateral roll - 15×15, 15×15, 15×15 (Used one of those body bars from the aerobics room. These things are TOUGH. It’s hard to keep my hips up for the whole time.)
