Yesterday was day 1 of Lift 4. I have done multiple rounds of the program since 2022. I actually first did the program when I was early in the process of trying to lose weight after I had reached my highest weight back in 2021. The last time I did a round of it, I was about 25 lbs heavier than I am now, so it will be interesting to see what it is like now that I am in better shape and nearing my goal weight. Also, every other time I did the program, I paired it with something, whereas now, I am just going to be following the program and not adding anything extra besides some extra foam rolling and flexibility work here and there.
So, day 1 was chest and triceps, which was one of the 50/50 workouts. The resistance portion was still very challenging even after having finished Dig Deeper and Dig In. I was trying to use weights similar to what I ended with in those programs, and there were definitely times I was struggling. I did find the HIIT and core portions of the workout easier than the last time I did them. I did not have to modify as much as I did when I weighed more. Even so, I did have to switch to modifications at some point in the mountain climbers and the triceps push-ups (which are in the final block of resistance exercises). Those are the bane of my existence. I had to start those on my knees and was only doing micro-push-ups on my knees in the third set.
