More New Rules!

I was getting a little bored with my modified Starting Strength workout. I only had a few days left, but I have been away from lifting for a couple weeks, so I decided to go ahead and start New Rules of Lifting for Abs instead of finishing my little made up workout.

It's been a while since I did a New Rules workout. It feels good to be back!

The planks were hard, but I finished them as written without problem. I'll look for an alternative next time. The split squats felt weird. Maybe I should elevate 4 inches instead of 6. The push ups were hard at the end of the program! I decided to elevate my hands so I could get through them. Even then, I had to pause several times.

Phase 1A-1
mobility warm up
Plank - 2x90s
Side plank - 2x45s per side
Split squat, front foot elevated DB - 12/side x 10#, 12/side x 15#
Inverted row - 7 @ #12pin, 12 @ #15pin (raised bar to make easier)
Romanian deadlift BB - 2x12x135#
Push up - 2x12 @ #3pin
