Weekly Update 9/7 thru 9/11

I'm still going!! Last Friday I just didn't get to my workout. Oh well. I got in my 4/4 that I planned this week. Plus one of the fitness sites I go to has a 12 week challenge going on and this week was 20 minutes of cardio each day. I don't usually do cardio, just haven't felt up to it quite yet. But I've followed through this week.

Deadlifts
95x8 warmup
135x6x3

Romanian Deadlifts
135x6x3

Squats
95x8x3 - i really pre-exhausted on those deadlifts. I went down for the first squat and my legs were already so shaky I didn't think I'd be coming back up LOL.

Extensions
50x10 warmup
95x8
140x6x2

Cardio: Barbell Complexes (these are for cardio, not resistance training). Grab a barbell that you can handle for your weakest move in the circuit (for me that is the shoulder press). I just use the bar which is 45 lbs. Go straight down the circuit transitioning from one move into the next without putting down the barbell, and do it 6 times. That is 1 round. You can rest about 30 to 60 seconds after each round. I did 20 minutes worth which ended up being 8 rounds (or 48 reps).
Deadlift to
Shoulder Press to
Squat to
Calf Raise to
Good Morning to
Shoulder Press to
Bent Over Barbell Row

That is it for the week! Except for cardio on Saturday and Sunday which I'm not sure what it will be yet.
