Kinda leg-day

I was really excited about today but also a bit unsecure cause with squats you're supposed to use the heaviest weight of the whole session.... and I'm not sure that my form is perfect...but I didn't want to wait with the training, I was going to do it anyways with or without coaching...After all I'm familiar with squats since I've been doing BODYPUMP for quite a while already, so I think I more or less know the proper form.

I looked at today anyway as a first encounter with this kind of training, so I wasn't going to go for RPT since I still don't know exactly how much I can lift...I know it for bodypump , but this kind of training is very different from bodypump...it takes some getting used to, I love it, but you cannot look at it like you look at bodypump, few reps, higher weights...tho I did everything with moderate weights today, it being the first time...so, too many words! let's go for numbers ;)

warm-up: 5 mins at the elliptical

SQUATS: (no RPT)
warm -up: just the bar  4 sets   8 reps
Set 1:  bar + 2,5= 22,5      8 reps
Set 2: bar + 5kg = 27,5      10 reps

The weight was not much, squatting was easy... The biggest problem is the moment to set the bar on my shoulders... I can't lift the bar that high, LOL... The good thing about the weight being moderate is that I got to squat deep, I could concentrate on the form, and being in front of the mirror helps correcting mistakes that in pump I'm not aware of.


LUNGES: (RPT) (with the dumbbells)
Warm-up: 4 Sets - 8 reps (each leg), - 5 kg (each hand)
Set 1: 10 reps each leg - 10 kg each side
Set 2: 10 reps each leg - 7,5 kg each side


OVERHEAD PRESS: (no RPT)
Warm-up: 3 sets x 8 reps (just the bar = 7kg.)
Set 1: + 2,5 kg (each side) 8 reps
Set 2: + 3,75 ( each side) 10 reps

I tried 5kg each side but I could't raise the bar, LOL...I will some day, tho :)

So....all in all ok, I could have pushed myself harder I think, but it was a kinda "get-to-know" day, so next time I'll do, I'll challege myself. Anyways it was a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to next session :)


Eating-wise: I more or less hit my macros ... and I enjoyed it a lot XD
