Chest & Triceps

Another killer chest and triceps day with the best guy ever!  And, guess who can now lift 85# on the bench press and 95# on the decline bench press?  If you guessed RENEE, you are the winner!  As I got off the decline bench after my second set of 95#, there was an older woman who had been standing nearby who gave me a huge smile, and a thumbs up.  Thanks for the positive energy, ma'am!

WOD Part 2: I Heart Leg Day

I love leg day!  Last night Jeff and I went to my gym and had a grand time beefing up the stems.  I was thrilled that I can now do the hack squat machine.  The last time I stepped into it I couldn't even push the sled up once!  Yesterday I did four whole sets!  Plus, I upped my squat PR by ten pounds (75#)!

The routine:

Warm up: 12 minutes on the stair machine

Leg extension

Leg curl

Sumo barbell squat

Hack Squat

Donkey calf raise

My increased strength propelled me to go looking through some photos and lookie, lookie!  

You can see the strength increase!!  

Now that's what I call hard work paying off!
