NROL, Fat Loss III, workout 1B

This might sound really wierd but I really enjoyed this lift. I mean I REALLY enjoyed it. Just felt awesome. I didn’t feel sick at all. In fact I felt confident that I could finish even though it was tough as hell. That probably means that the weight might have been a little low at times but I’m definitely worn out so it was a productive workout. 

Reps were outrageous but I stuck it out. My stamina has really increased!

Here are the stats. I did two sets of giant sets and an ab exercise just like last time. Managed to fuck up the order and do the pulldown exercises in the wrong giant sets. What are you gonna do though? Still felt good.

Front squat - 10×100, 10×100, 10×100, 10×100

(These went pretty well. I can probably go higher but I was worried that I would get super tired and not be able to finish. That never happened. Depth was good but I started leaning forward a little bit toward the end.)

Underhand grip pulldown - 20×90, 20×90

(Accidentally did these in the second giant set but I’m putting them here because that’s where they’re supposed to go. Also, I’ll be cutting and pasting a lot for future lift reports and I want to keep everything in order. This weight felt too low early but I struggled to finish. Might try to go up here next time.)

Step up - 10×25, 10×35, 10×40, 10×40

(Twenty five and thirty five pound dumbbells felt way too easy. Fourty’s are just about right)

Dumbbell push press 10×25, 10×35, 10×40, 10×40

(Same weights as the step ups. Same problems. First two reps were too easy. Last two were just about right.)

Squat - 20×115, 20×115

(Depth was awesome. I couldn’t believe I was able to do them all. Worried about not finishing but I only slowed down during the last one. That was rough. Had to stop to catch my breath but I was good to go after about a minute.)

Wide grip lat pulldown - 10×120, 10×120, 10×120, 10×120

(This was the one I was supposed to do in the first set. I tried 135 but it was too heavy. I’m at the right weight here.)

Step up - 20×30, 20×30

(Another round of step ups. Joy! Doing this with both legs amounted to 80 reps this time. Not cool.)

Dumbbell shoulder press - 20×20, 20×20

(This was a good weight. Had to fight for the last reps.)

Swiss-ball crunch - 10xBW, 10xBW

(These are easy.)
