Bench Press, Shoulder Press, Wall Push-ups, Training: Lunges

I am focusing on upper body so I will be prepared to really hit pull-up training when my doctor gives me the okay. Again, trying to take it slow so I don't get set back from my overzealous nature.

1 round, 24 reps
Bench press (45 lb)
Shoulder press (15 lb DBs)
Wall push-ups

I am doing the same thing with lunges that I started with squats yesterday. I meant to do it on the same day, but I forgot. How convenient since I hate lunges. My goal is also 200 on each leg since I don't want my quads to be grossly out of proportion compared to my hamstrings.

Lunges
60 second rest
Round 1: 8
Round 2: 8
Round 3: 5
Round 4: 5
Round 5: (max 7+) 10 (though not my max)

Total: 36

Postpartum Status: 1 week 5 days

Training: Squats

I am sort of doing squats training during postpartum. I won't be hitting it as hard as I did the push-ups, but my eventual goal is 200 without pausing. I am not truly maxing because I want to make sure my body is completely ready before doing that

60 second rest
Round 1: 8
Round 2: 8
Round 3: 5
Round 4: 5
Round 5: (max 7+) 10 (though not my max)

Total: 36

Postpartum Status: 1 week 4 days
