Lesley's training log

[Lesleylifts]

Today felt a lot better than Monday. Maybe it had to do with all the food I ate last night - gave me lots of energy! We were out for dinner last night and while I didn't totally blow it, I certainly ate more than I normally do.
Squats felt better today.
Today's stats:
Squat
110lbs 5 x 5 - I felt pretty strong with these today.
Incline Bench Press
70 5 x 5 - I did 70lbs last time, but when I gave 75lbs a try, it was TOO hard. So I'll stick with 70 for a bit.
Inverted Rows
3x7,6,5
Push ups
3x 10,8,5
Reverse Crunches
3x12 - no counter weight

Hi Lesley:

Sounds like you got in a good workout. Your IRs and Pushups are getting up there.

That is an impressive number for incline bench press. They are so much harder than the regular bench.

Question: does it not bother you at all to be declined? I have never done them, but it looks, I don't know, scary to be in a position with your head lower than your feet holding a 70 pound bar, while blood is rushing to your head.

As my wife already posted, good numbers on IR and push ups, congrats! Body weight exercises are tough...it reminds us how much we weigh and how much easier it would be if we only weighed, say, 40 pounds...
