20 Rep Satisifed, Wednesday, Week 6

Down to the last two and I can't say that I am ecstatic about my performance. After doing normal warm ups up to 135lbs, I put on 200lbs (5lbs over) and did 5 like I wanted to after realizing Monday that it was easier to do heavy weight after doing heavy weight. Those 5 went ok and I thought my 20 rep would be good especially with 5lbs less (195lbs). That didn't happen. I made 10, but then stopped. After a break, I did the last 5 which weren't too bad.

Now even though I didn't make 20 (and haven't in a while), I was happy because I looked back over all of my progress over these 6 weeks. I started with 115lbs and it was rough! Now I'm putting up 195lbs for 10 reps, less than 6 weeks later! I am pretty pleased with the 80lb gain even if the 20 rep isn't happening. I think for my next round in a couple weeks, I will only do twice a week and see how the extra rest benefits me. Maybe doing twice a week will allow for 20 reps every time and maybe even adding 10lbs instead of 5lbs each time. Who knows.

Last one is Friday and I am going to try and make it count. 200lbs, here I come.

17 down, 1 to go!
