I had another great day! This morning did my push ups for day 9 of 30 day Spartan challenge. This afternoon I was back at the gym lifting. I was able to increase my weight on several of the exercises, surprising to me. I have been doing lighter weight explosive type exercises for so long, I didn't know if would be able to lift heavy again. I will continue increasing weight each workout til unable to get reps for that set. Plus going to add a set to each exercise next week.
Today's workout
50 burpees warm up
Rest 1 min
Weighted pull ups 3x5 with 24# vest
Squats 3x5 @ 225
DB Shoulder Press 3x5 1@50, 2@55
Dead lift 3x5 @ 205
Curls 3x5 @ 95
Calf Raises 3x5 1@200, 2@290
Dips 3x5 @ BW
50 burpees to complete workout
*Rest 1 min b/w sets and workouts.
Like I said, I will continue going up with my weight. Be interesting at end of 4 wks to see what gains I make. With the completion of 100 burpees that completes day 17 of 100 burpees 100 days challenge.
