Workout B - 12/2/12

Squat:
145 x 5
145 x 5
145 x 5

Press:
90 x 5
90 x 5
90 x 5

Rows:
105 x 5
105 x 5
105 x 5

Chin-ups:
BW x 8
BW x 6

Finally, a workout that made me feel like I actually accomplished something.  Squats weren't torturous, but I felt like I was noodling around through the movement, and the weight was significant.  I could probably get 10 pounds more next workout, but it feels like that would be my last time and it would be a struggle. I'm going to bump it down to 5 pounds in the interest of continual progression.  The overhead press wasn't too bad, and rows were still a bit on the easy side.  I did chin-ups mostly because I feel like I haven't been taxing my upper body at all so far, and I kind of wanted to see where I was with straight up body weight.  I'll probably drop them next workout for a couple weeks until I get used to the workload with all movements feeling heavy.

My weight was up around 174 this morning, so I think I'm going to stay the course with 3200 calories a day for now.  Of course, that number is in perpetual evaluation mode, and I'll adjust as necessary.  I'm interested to see what the scale does now that the weights are starting to get heavy.

  2. I have an old iPod Shuffle with a mix of about 150 songs on it. But that's a good point, I should include some songs that I listen to during the workouts. I'll start today!
