Trainer Paul asked how sore I was today and I told him my thighs and abs are sore (you know, from this workout) so we got to play with some weights today.
Here is a quick video of the three lifts I did.
I started out with just the bar. Sounds easy, right? The bar it's self is 45 pounds. So the shoulder press was easy compared to the Push Press and the Push Jerk. Each one I did correctly he then added weight and went onto the next one.
By the time I was done I did a 100 pound Push Jerk. Whoo hoo!!! It took me several trys but I worked through over thinking it and finally got it. Trainer Paul was rating each one on a scale of 1 - 10. My last one (the 100lbs one) was a 9. I started at a 3. He wanted it a little cleaner but hells bells I had to fight to get that 100lbs up!
He had to tape my wrists about half way through the workout. I had no idea they could hurt so bad! Taping really helped the pain. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do anything today because of sore wrists, but they feel good. (THANK GOD!) I'm pretty sure my soreness is mostly from Monday's workout, but that might change tomorrow!
I got gel's on my fingernails on Friday (I NEVER paint my nails, just my toes) it was fun to see my red hot nails holds that 100lbs bar! (hee hee) I liked the juxtaposed girlyness of my fingers and the weight bar. It made me giggle a little.
And so we go

Oh, and PS I added a video to the dead lift post from Friday so you can see what I'm talking about.
