Since I have been having trouble making it to failure on most of the lifts, I decided to increase weights and go to failure on each one, and see how long it took, instead of stopping after 90 seconds.
Bent-Over Barbell Row: 5.25 reps in 1:51 minutes TUL (Time Under Load) using 38 pounds. I made it to failure. When I do this again next week, I will add more weight.
Standing Overhead Press: 3.25 reps in 1:16 minutes TUL using 28 pounds. I made it to failure. When I do this again next week, I will add more weight.
Dead Lift: 7.25 reps in 3:00 minutes TUL using 38 pounds. I made it to failure. When I do this again next week, I will add more weight.
Bench Press: 3 reps in 1:12 minutes TUL using 38 pounds. I made it to failure. When I do this again next week, I will add more weight.
Dumbbell Squat: 5.25 reps in 1:47 minutes TUL using 32 pounds. I made it to failure. When I do this again next week, I will add more weight.
