Workout Journal Notes
What a change: Last Thursday, for “Very High” load week, I did 97 reps and was in the gym for 2 hours, but today’s “Very Low” recovery workout only last an hour with less than 50 reps.
There’s just one more low-load workout tomorrow, then it will be on to Phase 3 on Monday.
As part of tomorrow’s workout, I also saw there is a quick one-rep-max test for Bench Presses.
That should be interesting to see how much I’ve improved over the last 2 months.
I’m hoping for at least a 10-pound increase, but I’ll have to remember to keep perfect form just like in the initial test, so I don’t skew the results by forcing sloppy reps just to beat my starting weight.
