First Define Workout A

It went pretty well.  I probably didn't push myself as hard as I could have.  The first week is learning the new exercises, right?  I'm not too sore, but I can certainly feel it in my back and butt. I'm still getting more sore so I'll have to update the soreness level tomorrow.

I was a little concerned about the chin up.  I didn't think we had a chin up bar in our gym and I knew there was no way I'd be able to do one unassisted.  And apparently that was one of the adds for the renovation, so now we have one.  And, just as importantly, we have those rubber bands to assist.  I'm also very thankful that I came in on an off day to attempt it the first time.  It wasn't pretty and would have been embarrassing in front of other people. 

Here's how it went:
 
1/3/2011setsrepsweight
Wood Chop28 each side60
plank260-90 sec60 sec
dumbell squat w/offset load28 each side30lb db
dumbell alt overhead press28 each arm15lb db
single leg bent knee deadlift28 each leg15lb db
chin up with band286 3/4, 2 full
alternating lateral lunge28 each leg15lb db
two point dumbell row28 each arm25lb db


The chin up really was comical.  In the first set, I managed 6 of them coming up 3/4 of the way.  In the last set, I just wanted to do one full one, but I did two.  Hopefully this exercise will be a good indicator of how much I progress.
