Today's protocol was to lift "light", which means lift a weight I can lift 20-22 times (quickly and under control) and do each exercise for a total of 50 times. The book says to do 25 reps but I'm assuming this was a typo since every other "light" day had 50 reps. Here are the exercises:
- Superset
- High pull, 50 lbs OTB
- DB incline press, 35 lbs
- Superset
- Squat, 90 lbs OTB
- Hammer curl, 20 lbs
(BTW, when I write "OTB", I mean "on the bar", meaning that the weight of the bar isn't included in the weight that I'm recording.) I'm sure that I went too light on a couple of these, but I find it really hard to figure out what weight to use for these high rep days. Even when I'm done I'm not sure whether I could have done more. I'm always so tired aerobically that I have a hard time figuring out if my muscles could have done more. So next week I'll be doing more on each of these exercises.
Today's program only took me 32 minutes. I'm sure that I will be able to do this more quickly next time. I took a lot of time between the two supersets. I wasn't really into it this morning — real tired from getting up with one of our dogs who wasn't feeling very good last night — so I struggled a bit with energy. That's okay. I know it'll be better next time.
