Sunday's workout was called "5000 Pounds Overhead" in which (I kid you not) I lifted a total of 5000 lbs over my head in overhead lifts. You heard me, 5000 lbs. That is like, the equivalent of a blue whale calf at birth.
The challenge to this workout is that before you start, you have to pick a weight and stick with it for the whole 5000 lbs. I was torn between picking a heavier weight and doing less reps or a lighter weight and doing more reps. I opted for the lighter weight of 50 pounds and 100 reps and I'm glad I did because heavier weight would have collapsed me by the mid-way point. Still, I finished. Darn baby whale!
5,000 pounds...who ever would have thought this was possible a few short years ago? Certainly not me. But Kilimanjaro is calling and the last 30 lbs. has to go. So press on I shall!
