2016-11-16: My wife has joined me in the Gym!

New day, more lifting!  Today marked the first day my wife has joined me in the Gym.  I've started her off on Stronglifts 5x5, and today was Squat, OHP and Deadlift day.  She performed admirably well for her first time in the Gym (5x5x20kg Squat, 4x5x20kg + 1x4x20kg OHP, 1x5x40kg Deadlift)!

Today's lifts:

Barbell Squat

A bit of a prolonged warmup today, as I was instructing my wife on how to proper squat.  Didn't want to increase the weights while showing her the proper technique.

2x5x20kg
5x40kg
5x20kg
5x40kg
3x60kg
3x80kg
3x100kg
1x120kg
2x5x142.5kg PR
3x142.5kg

.. I was supposed to do 5x5x142.5kg, but had nothing more to give.  Oh well, did a max lift yesterday, so who am I to complain.

Overhead Press

5x20kg
5x40kg
5x5x60kg

Deadlift

5x40kg
5x60kg
3x80kg
3x100kg
1x120kg
1x140kg
1x160kg
4x172.5kg PR

Had wanted to get 5 reps in, but 4 is a PR in any case.
