Amanda's Stay Fit Journal

[ajarvis]

I decided to stop the running journal since I'm not "totally" focused on running right now. I won't be doing runs longer than 30minutes on a regular basis for at least a couple more months. Plus I haven't been recording my workouts lately and since I did 125lbs on deadlift today decided to go back and see what my highest weight was previously and it took a long time to go through all those posts lol.

Anyways for today:

Lower Body

Squats:

-115lbs 10 reps
-135lbs 8 reps
-145lbs 6 reps 2 sets
-155lbs 3 reps
-155lbs 2 reps *I'm sure I could have done more reps than this but I wasn't 100% comfortable doing it without a spotter, and one wasn't available!
-145lbs 6 reps

Deadlifts:

-95lbs 8 reps
-115lbs 8 reps
-125lbs 8 reps
-125lbs 7 reps - the highest I've ever done for deadlifts!

Calf Raises:

-156lbs 10reps 3 sets

I had a spotter today for Bench press. Doesn't happen often! I needed help on the last rep of the last set, so not too bad
If I can get one again next week that would be even better

HOLY TOLEDO AMANDA! Been a while since I checked in and you've really made some gains, well just read your last lifts there.
Excellent Woman!
How's things otherwise?

Will not be working out on Thursday since I'm moving so I tried to get both upper and lower in the same day, but ran out of time. So no upper back work, or calves.

I did, however, go a little heavier with skullcrushers; I completed 3 sets of 8 with 155lbs on squat; last but not least managed to get 3 sets of 8 on biceps at 50lbs. So over all not too bad

Also not having enough time to rest between sets of deadlifts bicep curls (I alternated Deadlifts and Bicep curls with no rest) I'm very tired

My back was sore for some reason. Just the left side, and it really hurt So I didn't push myself for the last half mile like I wanted. Still pretty good workout.
