Incline Crunches
3 x 10, no weight
I get confused with what to call these things. If you're on one of those benches like you do decline bench on, do you call them incline or decline crunches? I used to call them decline, but then I saw someone else calling them incline... I get confused. Someone help me!
Hanging Leg Raises
2 x10
Well, that's my first working cycle of this round of 5/3/1 so I'll be bumping up the weights next time. Next week (or this week now) is supposed to be a deload week. Sometimes I just take the week off weights which I probably shouldn't do but the weights are so light it's sometimes like doing nothing anyway. I think as long as I'm exercising it should be okay. When the weights get heavier it's probably more important to get in there and do the deload properly.
On Saturday morning, for the first time in a long time, I got up early and went for a run before work. It was great to get out and about actually. I was quite sore the next morning as I'm not conditioned to running continuously for 40 minutes like I used to be. Although I run a lot in soccer, it's more stop-start and sprints than a long jog. The aim is to get out at least 3 times a week for a run once Daylight Savings starts this weekend (yay!). I'm obviously going to build it up as I'm not a spring chicken anymore and my joints cried after just my Saturday run. If the weather is good I'll get up early on Thursday morning for a run before work since I start late that day.

I just discovered your blog and it's so awesome to see a chick lifting heavy! I'm not lifting as heavy as you at the moment but I recently got my deadlift PB of 105kg - you have motivated me to keep busting my ass. I want 110kg in the next week or so!
Keep up the great work, I'll be following along from now on!
Hi JaG! Thanks for visiting :-) I'm happy I have motivated you to keep going hard ...yay! You should get 110kg in no time. How long have you been lifing?
"I get confused with what to call these things."
I call them "pointless".
Seriously, a woman who is deadlifting 135kg and squatting 107.5kg for reps and push pressing 52.5kg has got strong enough abs already - or she wouldn't be able to do those lifts at all.
Ha! True dat.... but I am a bit of a perfectionist and must know what they are called :-)
If you are on an incline pressing, it is an incline press. If you are on a decline pressing, it is a decline press.
Seems logical doesn't it? Your post made me visualise what I am doing so it actually answered my question. Thanks
