Lynne

Workout 25 July 2009

"Lynne"
Five rounds for max reps of:
Body weight bench press
Pull-ups

Results: 41 bench press @ 145lbs, 38 strict pull-ups
Previous best: 49 bench press @ 150lbs, 55 strict pull-ups (17 Apr 09)

Today's workout showed a significant decline in performance compared to the last time. I actually intended to bench 150lbs, but didn't have 2.5lb plates. The decreased numbers are a result of deconditioning, since I'm only getting to the gym 2-3 times a week compared to 5-6 prior to starting residency, as well as being tired after a very busy 13 hour shift. Hopefully these numbers don't decline much further, though some is inevitable.
