TT For Women Stage 2 Week 3 Day 3
Last night for dinner we had chicken that Bill smoked in the smoker and we were supposed to have garlic scapes. We’ve never had garlic scapes before, but last fall we planted some Spanish Roja hardneck garlic and one of the features is these long stemmed flowers that you want to cut off to let the energy go to the bulb. They are edible and were described as a cross between garlic and asparagus. Lets just say we went without a vegetable with dinner last night. They would probably be delicious in a stir fry, but sautéed by them selves they pretty much tasted like raw garlic. I ate two and they made me kinda nauseous.
My son’s six month well baby visit is today so I’ll be leaving work early. For that reason I went to the gym early this morning. I got to work about a 1/2 hour early and will be working through my lunch hour.
Wednesday’s interval training didn’t seen as hard on the recumbent bike. The upright bikes in my gym are broken (can’t increase the resistance). So today I did bodyweight circuits instead. Also, I was kind of in a hurry cause I wanted to get to work early. Wow, they really kicked my ass! I really could have done another circuit, but like I said, I was in a hurry. Definitely more interesting than the bike!

This Morning
Romanian Deadlift 8×55, 8×75, 3×8x90
DB Flat Bench Press 8×20, 8×25, 8×30, 8×35, 8×40…Let me explain here. I can bench more than I can comfortably lift up off the floor so I thought I’d use this Cybex Advance Bench thingy. It takes plates but moves (supposedly) like dumbells. I pretty much hated it. It felt like it forced me into a bad movement pattern. I won’t be using it again.

Elevated Pushups 3×8 each side
Bodyweight Intervals
12 One arm kettlebell swings (R & L)
12 Bodyweight rows…knees bent

Repeated 3 times with a one minute rest in between.
