STAGE 1 is DONE! Still by far weakest in shoulder press & push-ups, but was definitely some good progress made considering I haven't been able to do a regular pushup since H.S. (many years ago!). I also did my AMRAP all in one workout which I think hindered me a tad as I got closer to the end I was feeling pretty fatigued. Probably shouldn't have done it that way, but I had missed my gym day Wed b/c of my busy work schedule that day, and I really wanted to finish up on Friday. I wasn't going to take a break, but decided last minute to make this week an active recovery week and work on learning the moves for S2, getting some cardio in, and eat a deficit this week. Even doing my AMRAPs the way I did, and feeling the fatigue in some lifts, I could still see the benefit in doing the AMRAP workout. I definitely showed me just how far I've come, and how much strength I've gained in 6 weeks!! Some of the AMRAP's, on my stronger lifts, we're actually comical to me. I caught myself literally laughing during the seated rows and saying to myself. "Really, this is what I was doing just 6 weeks ago! haha! It feels like air! haha!"
Workout A
Squat: 65lbs --> 115lbs + 80lbs (AMRAP @ 65lbs x 35 stopped)
Push-up: Mod --> 30% incline -->1 set regular chest to floor (AMRAP 1 set regular, 5 30% incline + 22 modified) *Could not do ANY regular push-ups @ start date
Seated row: 40lbs ---> 115lbs + 75lbs (AMRAP @ 40lbs x 100 stopped)
Step-up: 20lbs w/ 1 riser ---> 35lbs w/ 3 risers (AMRAP 20lbs w/ 1 riser x 60 stopped)
Prone jackknife AMRAP 25
Workout B
Deadlift: 65lbs ---> 145lbs + 80lbs (AMRAP @ 65lbs 35 stopped)
Dumbbell shoulder press: 15lbs --->25lbs + 10lbs (AMRAP @ 15lbs x 40) * by far my weakest lift from jump street and still is upon completion of S1
Wide-grip lat pulldown: 55lbs --->115lbs + 60lbs (AMRAP @ 55lbs x 50 stopped)
Lunge: Could not do due to ankle injury. Subbed with lateral lunges and wall sits. All the lunges will be a problem for me and this ankle during the program any suggestions for subbing would be most welcomed. How about a machine?
Swiss ball crunch: Plank 30sec x 3 ---->60sec x 3 (AMRAP 2:00)
Total weight lifted June 3: 260lbs --> Ending weight lifted July 12: 550lbs (+290lbs)
I am totally floored at my losses!! Sorry no pics yet, I haven't had anyone to take any and I suck at taking selfies.
My before selfies are so bad you can hardly see them.....
Neck 15 ---> 14 = 1
Bust 38 ---> 37.5 = .5
Chest 45---> 44 = 1
Arm 14.5 ---> 13 = 1.5
Waist high 41 --> 39 = 2
Waist low (belly) 47 ---> 45 = 2
Hips 47 --> 45= 2
Thighs 27 ---> 25 = 2
12 total inches lost!

AMRAP = As Many Reps (or Rounds in CF world) As Possible....it's the last 2 optional workouts of S1 where you go back to your starting weight for each lift and do AMRAP to see how far you've come! :happy:0
