mmmk so I have been on and off again for awhile now since oh january stuck in phase 1 for what seems like an eternity. my plan is to do this week 7 days straight NO EXCUSES and see how my muscles feel to see if I should move on to the recovery week or to stay in phase 1 longer. I have been keeping track of my reps and wrote the date on a few things so here it is any advice on where to go from here is much appreciated!!!
chest and back
standard push ups 3/2:18, 16 3/13: 20,20 3/28: 20,20
wide front pullups3/2: 8,10 3/13: 10,7 3/28: 13,8
military pushups3/2: 14,10 3/13: 12,8 3/28: 12,8
reverse grip chinups 3/2: 10,8 3/13: 12,10 3/28: 12,10
well, I won't bore you with the whole write up but basicly shows that there has been some improvement over like oh 4-5 weeks? I know it is too much time in between days sometimes I will hit 3 or 4 days in a row then miss a few...I also have written down 3 other weeks besides the 3 I put here and that was in January and February so I'm just pretty lost as where to go from here. I hate staying stuck and I shouldn't view it that way but it can be frustrating. I have the same amount of weeks for arms and I get through plyo on those weeks also but I have noticed the legs workout isn't there as much only about 4 weeks worth so I guess I have a habit of starting the week off strong then it dies off near the end.....
So my goals.....
1) Right now I can do 25 pushups in a row I want to be able to do 50 by the end of phase 2
2) I want my abs to show through nicely
3) Never let my boss Liz beat me at arm wrestling she keeps challenging me and I win and I need to keep it that way! And it is right handed (I'm a lefty :P)
4) Do 15 pullups (reverse grip) with no help from the stool (can do 9 right now)
5) Drop 5 more pounds (currently 131 down from starting weight of 140)
I'll call that good for now, how will I reach these goals?
1) stop missing workouts!!
2) Do ab ripper 3x a week
3) start watching my diet better...one of my toughest obstacles right now
4) cut down on pop my BIGGEST CHALLENGE
All suggestions very welcome and much appreciated!!! :D
