Didn’t want to go to the gym today. Almost found a way to skip. It’s easy on the weekend because they’ve got shorter hours. They’re closed during the time that I usually go so that sucks.
I made it and managed to do the first “B” lift of Fat Loss II. It sucks and I hate it.
Here are the numbers. 12 reps, 60 seconds rest.
Snatch-grip deadlift - 12×135, 12×145, 12×145
(These are tough. It’s just like a regular deadlift only you have to hold your hands out farther. That means I had to use less weight. It’s even more difficult to keep my grip.)
T-push up - 6xBW, 12xBW, 12xBW
(These are too hard. I still can’t do regular push ups so these are impossible. I tried to do the first set but I was only able to do half. My form wasn’t that great on those to tell you the truth. I did the second two sets using girl push ups. They were still extremely difficult but I managed to go nose to ground. I barely finished those.)
Bulgarian split squat with overhead press - 12×15, 12×15, 12×15
(I hate these more than any lifts I’ve ever done. I only did six reps for each leg. The book says you’re supposed to do 12 reps per leg. The book can go screw. I could barely do what I did.)
Underhand grip lat pulldown - 12×120, 12×120, 12×120
(These are supposed to be chin ups but since I can’t do chin ups these were the alternative.)
Romanian deadlift/Bent over row - 12×95, 12×95, 12×95
(95 pounds might be too much. The last set was too hard. I think my form was bad. My back was too rounded.)
Lower body Russian twist - 12xBW, 12xBW, 12xBW
(I can’t believe how hard these are. It’s basically laying on your back with your legs straight up in the air. Then you swing your legs from one side to the other. Sounds easy enough. It’s not. I just can’t describe how difficult this is.)
