So todays workout…well, it did not seem to start out very well and I had to have a little pep talk from my husband about how he has designed these workouts for me to fail at and if I were to make every set the first time then it would be too easy. Today was supposed to be a killer day for me after a few days off and giving my muscles time to rest and all. I was supposed to come back in and just do it! So I do. I’m ready. He asks me what my last bench was, I glance back at my log and tell him, “85 lbs.” So I start at 90 lbs this week. Deal. I struggle. I struggle hard. First set I had my form off so once I fixed that it was better but still not great. We are doing 5 sets by 5 reps right now. So set 1 I did 3 reps, had to break after the 3rd  and then did 2 more. Second I did 4 reps and I think I had a little help on the last one. 3rd set I rocked it out. 4th set, I rocked it out. 5th set I struggled but I did it. *whew* Done. So we are moving on and I look back at my log to see what we did next last week and notice, I didn’t bench 85 lbs last week, I benched 80 pounds FIVE TIMES. So I was supposed to move up to 85 pounds this week, not 90. Holy crap. No wonder it kicked my butt! I mean, I did it but I was mad at first. After that second set where I didn’t even finish the set and had to have a pep talk I was about in tears I was so mad. I guess I didn’t have a reason to be now, looking back. Dang, I just moved up 10 pounds in a week! I tried to get my husband to let me move back down next week and pick up where I was supposed to be but he said no. Darn it. LOL

Keep on pushing, friends! You’ve got this! You can do more than you think!!
