Challenge on 18 June 2011

So last week, Aizan and I chit chat over the internet about two main compound exercises - squats and deadlifts. We both know very well that Aizan scores in deads while I score in squats. My last record of squats was 52.5kg, which was a new PR, while I remember she does 63kg of deads. Pretty impressive for a 47kg girl, if you ask me. My record for deads is only 50kg, to date. And I'm actually already struggling. Plus, I'm bigger size than her!

So, to motivate each other, I thought of a healthy challenge, since we both wanna hit the other party's record. We will both train for 2 months, and we'll meet (somewhere) on 18 June 2011 for the challenge. She'll do squats of 52.5kg 5RM while I'll do deads for 62.5kg 5RM. I'm not sure how I wanna do that because that's a whole lot of 12.5kg to get to. However, at the same time, we will try to improve as much as we can in within these 2 months, since Aizan has injured her right shoulder, which doesn't allow her to train for a week. So no pressure, Aizan, ok? Right now, we just think of improvement. At least 2.5kg increased from previous PR is good enough already.

And here's my workout plan :-
