- added 5 lbs to the crunch weight
- added 12 reps on the ab-twist machine at 90 lbs, since last time i didn't feel much in my core.
- I did the bicep curl with dumbbells and 5 fewer pounds on each side (instead of the machine).*
It was a good day - the deadlift again was not a big challenge, but i felt like i executed it well. I look forward to trying the additional reps next time. The arms again were a challenge- the tricep push hurt, and the curls were awful.
* - I moved to free weights because i feared my stronger right arm was illicitly helping my gimpy left arm. Sure enough - on the dumbbell my right arm did fine, while my left arm struggled then faltered. I felt very puny being unable to curl a 20lb dumbbell 12 times with my left arm. Room for improvement.
An hour or so afterward I felt a pleasing soreness in my middle back, which I attribute to the lat pull-down machine -- I don't think i felt it before, so perhaps having my hands a little wider on the bar helped.
