Iron Series
So, I just wanted to let everyone know that I've almost finished 3 weeks of Iron Series. I do extra cardio on some days. My goal is to be one size smaller by the time school starts again. I have so many cute pants that are one size smaller than my current size. Also, I started Iron Series during the schol year but mentally was not prepared for it. I'm using the summer to build back a strong workout habit and to get stonger so I can keep it up during the school year. Unfortunately, my scale is broken and I did not take measurements but here are my observations so far:
- My clothes are fitting better
- I am stronger - not nearly as strong as many of you or Carline but I am increasing weights (for example I used 20's for arnold presses today).
- I cannot tell you how much I hated, loathed, despised singe leg lunges and bulgarian lunges, and hip thrusts. I can now do them with better form, using my step for bulgarian lunges and for hip thrusts. I also feel them in the right places. My back foot always gave out. I'm not saying it isn't still a challenge but it is much better than when I started. I alternate between 15's and 20's depending on how many sets there are for single leg lunges and bulgarian lunges. Today, I used a 25 for single leg lunges held on the side of the lunge.
- I will have room to grow when I do this series again.
I won't be able to finish week 3 until Monday but I'm sure the rest won't hurt.
