Thursday - Ramping up the circuit

My workout partner's second day back from a rib injury, so we expanded the circuit.

Treadmill - 220 yd run @ 7.5 mph
Hand-release Pushups x 15
Machine Close-grip Pullups x 10 @ -190#
Deadlift x 5 @ 155#
Machine Crunches x 50 @ 50#

Treadmill - 220 yd run @ 7.5 mph
Hand-release Pushups x 15
Machine Close-grip Pullups x 10 @ -190#
Deadlift x 5 @ 155#
Machine Twists x 25/25 @ 30#

Treadmill - 220 yd run @ 7.5 mph
Hand-release Pushups x 15
Machine Close-grip Pullups x 10 @ -190#
Deadlift x 5 @ 155#
Plank x 60 sec

The run is getting easier. May increase the speed or distance.

The fifteen sets weren't bad. Will do more as Rich gets better.

I like working in the deadlift.
You can feel that it is a true full-body strength-building exercise.

The chronic/nagging injury to my right psoas muscle (hip girdle) bothers me during the day, but when I exercise the pain completely fades. Odd how that works.

Total weight down: 88 pounds.
