Stage 5B2

This time the 5B workout felt a bit better. Maybe it was because I actually did the intervals? I don't know. I feel it in my hams and glutes and a bit in my calves. That's good. My heart rate still tended to peak about 20bpm lower for this B workout than the A workout.

Not much to say. I subbed the partial squats with single leg presses. That was an exercise my physical therapist used for my rehab and since squats seem to be aggravating my knee, I'll sub with evil leg presses for now. I did 8 reps each leg on them rather than 4. My PT had me doing 25 at a time.

rdl/bent over row - 4@90# - I think I might be able to bump these next time!
single leg press - 2x8@110# then 1x8@136#
wide grip lat pulldown - 3x92# - still can't increase, but did feel improvement
back extension - 2x40# then 1x45#
YTWL - 3x10#ea
swiss ball crunch - 1x30#overhead then 2x35# overhead
rev crunch - 3x on 30deg incline
swiss ball side crunch - 1xbw then 1x20# overhead then 1x25# overhead
prone cobra - 2min then 1:20 because I got spooked by someone coming into the gym (did this in the weight room rather than the open room for a change)
intervals - on upright bike 4 sets of 1min hard 2 min easy

Total: about 1.5 hours!!
