Progress Update

We are heading out for a two week holiday to BC tomorrow morning so the timing of my last lifting cycle ending couldn't have been better.  W and I both were ready to test our 1 Rep Max (1 RM) and so after the kids were tucked in we headed out to the garage for some romantic us time and gutted out some big numbers.  I am feeling pretty good about things and as you can see from the numbers below I set some really solid PRs.  For the first time ever I am looking forward to getting back into the gym and starting a new cycle.  The koolaid has finally taken effect!!!!

  1. You are doing AWESOME!!! You will find, I think, that the press is the hardest to make move. If you don't already, start doing full push-ups (no KNEES). If you can't do full ROM use a box or plates to elevate your hands a little. Knee push-ups do NOT translate into an ability to do full push-ups. Full push-ups DO improve your bench and your press....

    keep rocking!!

  2. Yay Dana! Nice results. And btw, when I said I hated you the other day.... that was just the burpees talking. I think they are making me stronger too - so long as they don;t kill me first. Have a great holiday!
