Need to set new goals!

This weekend, I met with several other gals who enjoy weightlifting.  It was a blast.  I don't know if it was the peer pressure or what, but I mostly made two of my goals for the year.  I wanted to be able to complete multiple chin-ups and one pull-up from a dead hang.  I did two chin-ups (mostly) and one pull-up (mostly).  I say mostly because I would like to get a tad more height on them before I call them done.  But, I never thought I could even get that close this early!  I might even make the height I want by the end of the month.  Wow!

This morning, I got my lift in that was scheduled for yesterday.  I realized that, for the last couple weeks, I had performed the wrong number of sets for the barbell lunges.  Oh, well.  I did the correct number of sets this time, which is the same number of sets that I did the other weeks.  It amazes me that I could get it wrong three times in a row!

Show and Go, Phase 3, Week 4
~1:13
Foam rolling and mobility
Barbell OH squat - (warm-up 3 @BW, 3 @10#), 6 @20#, 2x6 @25# (using the junior bar instead of the broomstick... not wide enough!)
Quadruped chin tucks - 3x5
Barbell forward lunge - (warm-up 3/side @BW, 3/side @45#, 3/side @65#) 3x6/side @80#
Reach, roll, & lift - 3x6/side
1-arm, 1-leg DB RDLs - 2x8/side @45#
Cable woodchops - mostly chest height - 2x8/side @40#
Corner pec minor stretch - 2x30s
Seated 90/90 strech - 2x30s/side

Update:  I actually found the goals I had stated back in December.  I think there is still plenty of work left to do on my other goals, so I'll just focus on those rather than make new ones!
