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
