btfc - Day 76 of 84
8 days left in my Reddit Body Transformation Challenge. I'm not going to get anywhere my weight loss goal. My initial goals were set basically to just make some goals and I think they were realistic but along the challenge they weren't really that important. I can't really even remember them but they are written down somewhere - I'll bust them out at the end of the challenge.
For this challenege I decided to build my foundation with strength training. I am absolutely freakin' loving it. Below is my workout from today. The starred bullets are noteworthy lifts. Last week I failed with the 190x5 - I had no problem today.
The other is the 475x1 deadlift. That's the highest I've pulled in over 10 years. I have never pulled 500 and at 44 I thought I was too old to accomplish such a heavy lift but I'm thinking I just might be able to do it.
I wish I could just go right into another Reddit challenge but I don't think the next challenge is starting soon...bummer!
