Cardio weightlifting

Today was Break-In B2 for me.  I just did the lifting and no intervals, because I was basically doing cardio intervals the whole time.  My average heart rate was 145bpm over 43 minutes.  The deadlifts hit it hard and it didn't let up from there.  Most of my rests didn't go much over the allotted 60 seconds.  Sometimes I had to through some brief rests in during the sets, though.

I made myself do a little more warming up today.  Maybe I should write out a warm-up plan so I actually do more warming up.  I wasn't able to increase the weight much, but there were a couple small bright spots.  The step-up increase went well.  There were some funny looks on my face doing the 25# presses, though!

Warm-up - 5 squat to stands, 5 inchworms, deadlift 7@45# 6@95#


Deadlift - 1x10@135#, 1x15@90#

Step-up - 1x15@15# each hand, 1x15@20# each hand

DB 1-arm should press, alternating, palm in - 1x15@20#ea, 1x5@25#ea then 1x10@20#ea

Close-grip lat pulldown - 2x15@87# (biceps were burning after this one!!  Some grunting to be heard...)

Incline reverse crunch - 2x15@30deg
