Exercise - May 2nd, 2008 & Today’s Totals
Our light rain all day was followed by heavier rain in the afternoon. And I see now that it’s back to heavy rain again. Oh well, at least it’s not snow. I had to push, but I managed to do my 2 30-min treadmill sessions this morning. In the afternoon I did a 15-min warm-up on the treadmill, followed by:
| Sets | Reps | Set 1 | Set 2 | Set 3 | |
| A: Deadlift | 3 | 8 | 70/8 | 70/8 | 75/8 |
| B1: Dumbbell Shoulder Press | 3 | 8 | 30e/8 | 30e/8 | 32e/8 |
| B2: Wide-grip Lat Pulldown (Pullover) | 3 | 8 | 22e/8 | 22e/8 | 25e/8 |
| C1: Lunge | 3 | 8 | 25e/8 | 25e/8 | 27.5e/8 |
| C2: Swiss-ball Crunch | 3 | 15 | 15 | 15 | 15 |
Where there is a single number that confirms that I did the number of reps called for. Where there are two numbers the first is the amount of weight I used, followed by reps.
Followed by another 15 mins on the treadmill, which again, I really didn’t want to finish. The pullovers were the killer, although come to think of it, the shoulder presses weren’t that easy either. I suspect I’m not at my top possible weight for the deadlift. I may play with that a little next week during the AMRAPs, just to see if I can go higher for even a rep or two.
Other than that, really not much going on again today. I’ll definitely be taking a week off after Wed., and possibly cut the cardio back a little once I’m back. I remind myself that I originally started doing it simply to combat a fairly sedentary lifestyle. As the summer comes I will be outside more, and working around the yard more, and I’m finding it harder to do those things with the cardio. I suspect I’ll drop the calories a little at the same time.
