Oh look - a workout! I was so busy this morning afterwards. I barely got my protein shake and we went out for a swim. Then lunch had to be made and it almost slipped my mind!

I started off with 3 mins cardio (walking/jogging on the spot), the prescribed warm-ups, and then did:

Still struggling a lot with the single-leg romanian deadlift. I feel very off-balance when doing it, so I’m still not raising the weight. I also don’t know why I just can’t get that last shoulder press up. It’s not really a weight issue as last time it was the 70 lbs I couldn’t get up. I’m beginning to think that it’s a mental block. It was a pretty decent workout overall though. Felt pretty strong. Actually was tempted to go higher on the deadlift but reminding myself that it was early in the workout and the rest of the workout had to be done.

So, next weights workout will be Wednesday. I’ll be doing only two days a week for the next two weeks.
