Wednesday's Workout + Lunges...and then some

Last night was the ABSOLUTE BOMB workout. I dont' think I've ever pushed myself quite so hard. Upping my sets to 4 was a phenomenal idea. I can see where I need work though. But this is good, it's really starting to show my weaknesses. So I plan to improve in those areas. With time, I will rock, I just need more time..And more focus on my diet. The 5-4-3-2-1 diet by Buffmother really inspired me. Now I just need to put it into play. Here's last night's breakdown.

10 min. bike warmup

Leg Press
90lbs x 8
100lbs x 8
120lbs x 8
140lbs x 8 -this is the first time I've broken the 100 mark!! I think I was ready cause I went far past it!

Overhead Tricep Ext.
22.5lbs x 8
25lbs x 8
30lbs x 8
35lbs x 8 - I thought I was going to drop the dumbbell on my head, it was so heavy. But I cranked out 8 reps..

Lat. Pulldown
70lbs x 8
80lbs x 8
80lbs x 8 -I seem to be stuck at this weight right now...
70lbs x 8 - I felt too shaky at 80 so I dropped it down to 70 again

Calf Raise
40lbs x 8
50lbs x 8
60lbs x 8
70lbs x 8

Lateral Shoulder Raise
12.5lbs x 8
15lbs x 8
15lbs x 8
15lbs x 8 - This was harder than I thought it was going to be at this weight.

Dumbbell Curls
15lbs x 8
15lbs x 8
17.5lbs x 8
20lbs x 8 -I think if I am going to go heavier on these, I need to do them more frequently than once per week

Lunges
(Stationary and walking)
15lbs x 25 -per leg
(Reverse)
15lbs x 25 -per leg

Abs (the machine where you lay down on - forget what it's called) total = 5 sets of 50
crunches
100
Obliques
50 -per side
crunches with knees pulled in
50

Leg Extensions
90lbs x 8
100lbs x 8
110lbs x 8
130lbs x 8

Leg Curls
40lbs x 8
45lbs x 8
50lbs x 8
55lbs x 8 - It's been a long time since I've been able to go this heavy.

So there you have it. Not sure where all this strength came from last night. I'm in my boosting phase, so naturally you'd think I'd be a little out of it? I had SO much energy after I got home, I found it difficult to go to sleep until about 12. I did go home, have a healthy dinner and then just passed out on the couch w/ hubby. I can definitely feel it today. I think I can do 200 lunges, and be okay with it. I think I will try it tonight after my cardio. Here's to a new day of clean eating and great fitness accomplishments!
