Finished Stage 6

Today was the last of Stage 6, workout 6B4 in New Rules of Lifting for Women. Next up is Stage 7, which I've heard is a killer!

Today's workout was harder than I expected. All of the exercises were 10 reps. Last B workout they were 4! The book wants you to drop back to the weights you used in workout 6B2, but that was mostly just down 5#. 10 reps really gets my heart pumping. I was up at 150bpm multiple times. My average was 122bpm, which is rather high, considering the rests were 60sec.

If I can't yet achieve a chin-up, I think I'll repeat this stage after I'm done with Stage 7, which is the last in the book.

Reverse lunge 1db at shoulder- 2x10@25#

DB 2-pt row - 2x10@40#

DB push press - 2x10@25#ea (last rep was hard!)

Back extension - 2x10@40#

Incline reverse crunch - 2x10@30deg (barely finished the last couple reps!)
