Snatch Grip Deadlifts: 3 sets 8x115,8x135,8x135 (okay, time to step it up--I was determined to load those 45's figuring yes, the weight would make it harder, but the decreased distance would balance that out a little)

Superset those with:
T-pushups: 3 sets, 8x10 ea.
I really like these--my form is good and they make me feel strong.

Bulgarian Split Squats with Dumbbell Presses
3 sets; 8x15 ea.
Superset with underhand lat pulldowns, 3 sets, 8x110,8x110,8x110

Romanian Deadlifts with bentover rows
8x65x3

Lower body Russian twists: 3x8

I woke up at 4:15 and called the gym to find out if they had fixed their hot water problem. They had not, so I went back to bed and decided to do this workout after work. I know that heat makes a difference in how the body responds to work, and I definitely felt it. It was 104 when I got to the gym...cooler in the gym, of course, but relatively warm compared to the morning. In between sets of split squats I was forced to take longer breaks...I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I will stick to the mornings for my summer workouts. I hate the desert in the summertime. At work we splurged and had two huge scoops of ice cream from Baskin Robbins probably 1-1/2 hours before my workout. I don't think it was the best pre-workout meal...I felt a little nauseous.

Some guy in the weight room approached Maricela and said "Do you mind if I ask, why are you lifting weights?" I wish he had asked me.
