Pull ups- 4 to failure- 8,10,10,8
Seated cable row- entire stack 8,8,8
1 arm row- 120lbs for 10,10
Push/Db stand- 35lbs 6,7,8
Side ups- 10,11,12
Abs- 15 15 20

Good workout, and was not sure it was going to be due to being a bit tired! Weight was 185, and waist is 29, and getting smaller. Am very glad with my results so far, and normally would lower calories too much, or add in more cardio thus losing muscle. Challenge will be staying patient, and waiting unil the finish line!

Back+Shoulders Sat,11/22

Pull up- 4 sets to failure- 6,7,6,9
Seated Cable row- 3 sets entire stack 8,9,10
1 Arm Db row- 120lb Db for 2 sets of 10,12, then 100lbs for 10,10,10
Abs- 20,15,20 on medicine ball with 45 lb plate

Not sure how to perform the Push/Db stand, so replaced with 3 extra sets of rows. Should have asked prior to heading to gym. Also, the Side Ups, no big deal, just have not heard of the exercises until now!

Weight was 187, and was checked the same time as last week, with same scale. My waist is 29 (in the morning), and has definitely gotten much tighter for sure. Only reason for this might have to do with getting more sleep, and post workout meal being changed to 1 cup of oats rather than 60 grams of sweet tato. No complaints for sure, just glad to still be in the game!!
