Workout Change-Up Time Hurts

As some of you may recall, Devon decided to break my workouts into 3 month-ish quarters. Quarter #1 just ended. If you may recall it was a lot of slow lifting with stability intertwined. Quarter #2 is apparently "pain". Well, it's actually strength. But it certainly feels like pain. Day 1 was my session with Devon on Wednesday. Today was my first session on my own in the new workout cycle. When I received it, I immediately replied, "You are trying to kill me..." He did not disagree in his response.

The lifting:

Squat Press x 3s x 12r @ 325-350lbs (350 lbs.)
DB Squats x 3s x 12r @ 35-45lbs (45 lb DBs.)

Kneeling Leg Curls x 3s x 12r @ 50-60lbs (60 lbs.)
Reverse DB Lunges x 3s x 12r @ 30-40lbs (40 lb DBs.)

Pec-Decks x 3s x 12r @ 50-60lbs (60 lbs.)
Flat DB Chest Press x 3s x 12r @ 25-30lbs (30 lb DBs.)

Bent-over DB Rows x 3s x 12r @ 30-35lbs (35 lb DBs.)
Close-Grip Lat Pulldowns x 3s x 12r @ 55-65lbs (65 lbs.)

Rear Delt Flyes x 3s x 12r @ 45-55lbs (55 lbs.)
Standing Arnold Presses x 3s x 12r @ 17.5-22.5lbs (22.5 lb DBs.)

Standing DB Biceps Curls x 3s x 12r @ 15-20lbs (20 lb DBs.)
Cable Rope Pushdowns x 3s x 12r @ 22.5-32.5 lbs (32.5 lbs)

Decline Bench Crunches x 3s x 15r
Plank x 3s x 15r @ 3 second holds


So, you may notice that I did the high end of every weight range. You see, since we worked out together (AS FRIENDS!) on Monday, Devon has said 'Go hard or go home' about 50,000 times. So, Devon: I. Went. Hard. And its hurts so bad. I am not very smart.

In all seriousness, I think I messed up my left hamstring. Nothing major, it just hurts a little more than it should. This happened a few months ago, it went away fairly quickly. But still--upping the squat press by 40 lbs = bad idea jeans.

Next workout: WARRIOR DASH TOMORROW!!!! I am so scared!!! But I now am in possession of amazing matching costumes with Ajay & Julie & Holly & Frank. WIN! Then a well-deserved, much-needed, hard-earned rest day Sunday.
