I focused on getting my workout, showering, and getting back here so I could entertain Cliff. *nodnod*

The 4.5 on dips is because I went up fully halfway before hitting failure. It’s a complete half rep. : D

I hooked the 15 lb dumbbells on the shoulders while doing sit-ups. This moved them farther from the lever (if you know anything about physics) and made the movement more difficult. I actually hit failure on the 8th rep of the last set. Max effort sit-ups, who knew? I collapsed for a second, put the dumbbells slightly lower on my shoulders, and hit that 8th rep.

Adjustments: Bump incline press back up to 85 lbs. Otherwise, put some effort into dips and see if I can get the second set to 8 reps. That’s all I can do for the last upper workout.
