Full body: Heavy weight

Me with my shirt off. Oh, wait...
Personal training with Paul

Bench press:
95 x 6
105 x 5
115 x 5
125 x 5
135 x 2
140 x 1 (PR!)

======

Bench press for time - 15 @ 125
Time = 6:12

======

Deadlifts:
135 x 10 (touch and go)
185 x 5 (t&g)
205 x 5 (reset after each rep)
225 x 5
245 x 5
255 x 5
255 x 4

======

Alternating sets:

Neutral pull-ups:
5 @ 25
5 @ 30
5 @ 35
4 @ 40

Sit-ups:
9 @ bodyweight
10 @ b/w
5 @ 5lb
8 @ 3lb

Struggling to do weighted sit-ups? Well, that's pretty bloody embarrassing! I don't think I've failed that badly on any new exercise since attempting skipping rope about 4 year ago! And the day started so well with a new bench press PR...

Today I took my second monthly progress photo. Still can't figure out why my left arm - which is supposedly my weakest - is so much bigger than my right arm!

I must have not written it down but you did 5 sets of the deadlifts after the touch and go reps, you did a set of 5 with 255 and then did 4 reps with the same weight for your last set.

Jeez, what is it with personal trainers and counting?
