Today I got up for 4A4. I think I hit snooze once or twice because my dream was telling me it was important to finish whatever I was dreaming about. But, I still managed to start my workout at 4:40.
I managed to increase my weights on the front squat push press, but I almost didn't get the last press done. I chose to do the push-ups on the floor this time. I can do them on the floor with my elbows out. I think I'll do them on the floor and work on moving my arms in rather than always trying them with elbows in but at an angle. Today was a grip strength challenge!
Front Squat Push Press: 2@50#, 1@55#
Step-ups: 3@30# ea I feel very heavy with these, squished into the ground. Odd.
1-Pt Row: 3@40# ea These are a huge grip-strength challenge. I barely got the last rep out. I had to pause some to get through the 8 reps. Some balance issues.
Static lunge, rear foot elevated: 35# ea Still struggling to get proper depth. Maybe I should have dropped back in weight.
Push-ups: 3x on the floor with elbows out. Need to work on getting elbows in for triceps strength.
Planks: 3@2min Struggled with negative thoughts during the first minute of the first set.
Horiz. Cable Woodchops: 3@37# pulled (73# on cable) These feel powerful, and I have the "badge-of-honor" bruises on the backs of my arms to show I'm working hard!
I'm pretty wiped from the workout today. I have a feeling that my forearms are going to be sore thanks to the 35# and 40# dumbbells.
The Eco-ball seems to be working ok. I have to be careful not to use too much, otherwise I breath the dust in and that is not pleasant.
