Talking May 24 - Day 1 - LBWO

Decided to start with LBWO, since most of my practicing has been on upper body.

6 am - empty stomach except for 1 cup of black coffee

Dumb bell step ups - quads
12 at 2#
10 at 3.5#
8 at 3.5#
6 at 5#
12 at 3.5#
Dumb bell plie squat 12 at 3.5
Intensity level 9. Could use heavier weights for these to get to an intensity level of 10. Had a bit of trouble with my snap crackle and pop knees, but once they got used to it the kinks behind my kneecaps worked themselves out.

Straight leg deadlifts - hamstrings
12 at 2#
10 at 3.5#

straight leg/straight back deadlifts 24 at 5#
Had to really focus on the hamstrings. Definitely need heavier weights for this

Angled calf raises - calves
12 at 5#

one leg calf raises - right side 9 at 5#, left side 9 at 5#
Calves were burning. Had some balancing problems. Couldn't do more than 9 on the one legs - just couldn't raise up no matter how hard I tried.

Floor crunches - abs
12, 10, 8, 6 12 I HATE THESE, I HATE THESE I HATE THESE
Bent knee leg raises 4 to failure. I HATE THESE TOO!

Wow!! this was the first time thru an entire LBWO. This is intense!!! WOW! I'm gonna feel this later on.

But...I'm definitely going to need heavier weights for LBWO. The homemade ones will be fine for my skinny little weak arms.

Noticed something over the last week- wondering if other people feel this. I sweat like crazy during the workouts, and drink at least 1 litre of water. About 30 minutes after finishing, I get freezing cold..not the kind of cold that gives you skin goosebumps. but deep down inside your body freezing cold. What causes this???
