Total Weight Moved (daily?)

Hi,

One of the ladies in the FB group for NROLFW gave me this idea, and I wonder if anyone else here does it? What you do is for every workout, multiply (sets) x (reps) x (weight used) to come up with the total amount of weight you moved/lifted in that workout. I love it, and thought it would be fun to use here. If the weight is 2 dumbbells (one in each hand) count the total weight. And if you repeat the lift on both legs, count ALL the reps (ex: my lunges today were 4 sets of 15 on each leg, so I'm counting 4 sets of 30 reps).

Here's my example from today (stage 7.1):

squats 2x8x75 = 1,200 lb.
rear-foot-elevated static lunge = 4x30x30 = 3,600 lb.
pushups = 4x15x0 (body-weight only) = 0
romanian DL = 4x15x65 = 3,900 lb.
bent-over row = 4x15x50 = 3,000 lb.

1200 + 3600 + 0 + 3900 + 3000 = 11,700 lb. moved today.

I think it would be cool to keep a thread running where we can share these. I'd love to see everone else's. I bet collectively, we literally move a huge load of weight! :happy:

    Oh wow!. This is cool, but I will have to think about my weights/reps/sets -- that's a lot of math. LOL!!

    Stage 7 Workout 1 - Monday November 5th

    Here's my stats:

    squats 2x8x88 = 1,408 lb.
    rear-foot-elevated static lunge = 4x30x53 = 6,360 lb.
    pushups = 4x15x0 (body-weight only) = 0
    romanian DL = 4x15x55 = 3,300 lb.
    bent-over row = 4x15x53 = 3,180 lb.

    1408 + 6360 + 0 + 3300 + 3180 = 14,248 lb. moved today.

    Y'all have too much time on your hands!! Interesting figures, but I barely have time for gym, never mind adding and subtracting etc... Have fun with it!!

    shoulder press: 4x20x30 lb. (15 lb./hand)
    step-up: 4x40x40 lb. (20 lb./hand, 20 reps/leg)
