Day 50

Lifted - variations on my main theme as noted below.  Some heavier, some lighter, some on freeweights.  I was pleased with the approach and now want to get better.


  • Squat
    • Since I'd only been doing 90 lbs (and that while lying down), i figured merely squatting down and standing up would be more than that.  So now i do it sans machine.
  • Chest Press
    • Instead of 80lbs on a machine, I did 35 lbs in each hand with dumbbells.   Despite lower weight, this was much, MUCH harder.  Did two sets instead of three.
  • Deadlift
    • Upped the weight to 125 or 135 (from 95, uncertain of total since I don't know how much the new bigger bar weighs).  Did two sets instead of three.
  • Crunch
    • Did actual situps instead of using the machine.  2 sets by lifting legs against an incline, then did knee lifts.
  • Seated cable row
    • 90 lbs instead of 80.  Did two sets instead of three.
  • Triceps pushdown
    • As usual.  Three sets of 60 on a machine.
  • Lat Pulldown
    • 100 lbs instead of 87.5 - 1 set.
  • Overhead press
    • Instead of 70lbs on the machine tried two 25 lb dumbbells -- super hard.  Did two sets instead of three.
  • Biceps curl
    • Weaker than usual - same 20 lb dumbbells, but only did two sets instead of three
