Weekly post: What did you do?

For those of you who weren't here last week, this would be our weekly chance to talk about what we did this week. You can go into detail, you can talk about something new you did or an increase of some kind, or you can just report time or days or whatever makes you happy.

Comment away!

I tried the new regimen kindly recommended by [personal profile] thalia (minus the deadlifts that I still don't know how to do).

I worked out M, W, and F, running the "Day 1" list again on Day 3.

I increased the weight I was pushing on all the exercises I'd been doing before, going down to two sets, sometimes of only 4 or 6 reps. I learned I can no longer bench press 40 lbs, but OTOH, I can do 6 pull-ups with only 65 lbs subtracted from my body weight. Yee-hah!

I ache like crazy, but I feel stronger already. (:

laurashapiro: happy Chiana (yay!)
