Yesterday I did my strength training and here's how it went:
3x5 Squat: 125lbs
3x5 Shoulder Presses: 85lbs
3x3 Negative Pull ups: 140lbs
15 NS crunches
Well the squats were standard. They haven't gotten any tougher since I started them. The shoulder presses got harder though. I had trouble on my last set, but we'll see how the next time goes. If it's THAT much trouble, I may only increase by 5 next time, but I'd rather not. Maybe I need more protein for muscle?
I learned that I've been doing my pull-ups wrong. I had my hands too close together. Chin-ups are close together, pull-ups are spread apart. Otherwise you will kill your wrists. The abs are getting easier! I did fifteen with minimum strain. A few more like that and I'll start adding weights.
Today I'm either going running or swimming. Part of me doesn't want to take a break from my running, but I need to improve my swimming too. We'll see.
