Today was New Rule of Lifting for Women Stage 5 Workout A3. I made some improvements I thought weren't going to happen. I used 50# dumbbells for the first time!! wow!
I had to cut it slightly short, since I needed to be out of the gym by 6am. So, I only did one of the body matrix sets. Otherwise, I would have been there another 15 minutes! I'm proud of myself for at least doing the first set. I didn't really want to!
Again, I substituted single leg presses for the db single arm overhead squats.
1 arm db snatch - right: 4@35# left: 1@35# then 3@30#, then 2 sets of 4@35# for both hands - seems like warming up helped with my left hand, but it was still very wobbly. I had a few failed attempts. If the db loses momentum, it's over. I definitely cannot slow-lift that much over my head.
db single leg Romanian dl - 2x4@45#ea then 1x4@50#ea (!!!)
bb bentover row - 2x4@90# then 1x4@95#
single leg press - -3x8@136#
db incline bench press - 1x4@30#ea then 1x4@35#ea then 1x4@30#ea - I just couldn't get the dbs in place for the last set using 35#. Happy that I made one set with them, though!
plank - 3x2min
rev woodchop - 3x4@45# pulled (90# on stack) - Man these are hard! I grunt and huff and puff.
BWM - 4:35 (didn't repeat)
They have motion sensor lights in my gym. After a while of not sensing motion, they turn off. It seems like the management changes the setting every now and then. Right now, the cardio area is on motion sense, not the weight area. So, after a while, the cardio area goes dark, which is strange. Today a poor lady was IN the cardio area on an elliptical, which apparently does not produce enough movement, so while she was working out, the lights went out. How annoying! I'm sure she didn't want to get off to jump around and turn the lights back on, so she worked out in the dark. Not complete dark thanks to the weight room, but still!!
