BBW….BERTHA!!

KT was ill and so I knew we weren’t going anywhere today. I suspected correctly that she’d sleep late too. So I took an early morning workout. The name of the game was overload. Lift heavy weights to prep the muscles for lifting heavy, but go light on the reps so as not to injure yourself.

Workout:

Push Press
32kg; 5/5
Yes that’s Bertha! First time dancing with her. My BBW – Big Black Weight!
