Had really bad day for work. Network and telephone problems all day. Wound up doing all written cases after two hours today with my phone malfunctioning causing me to be sidelined. Finally got word from my supervisor it was a widespread problem. Never heard a single word from IT, who should have informed me.
Had a good workout at the gym tonight. Really feeling it. Still slightly shaky from it.
Back up to 170 lbs on bicep curls and doing more reps. Not a lot, like 3 reps at that weight but that's how you get up higher.
Up to 220 lbs on pectoral flies (butterflies). I wasn't expecting to do that well but kept adding weight until I could do nothing higher.
Some of the people on the seated leg press are just flat pissing me off. They sit there for ages, listening to MP3 players, not doing anything or use a weight level of about 20 lbs. WTF?! You'd get more benefit from doing standing squats! And yes, I have stood there and watched them and they do not go higher. After a long wait for campers to get their lazy asses off the machines, I finally got on. Remain at maximum, 335 lbs but seriously increased reps. From just lifting that weight the first time, what, last week? Now doing sets of 30 reps, 10 for each leg position, 2 sets.
Now up to 105 lbs on split weighted crunches. No question you feel those! When I started I was still sore from Tuesday's workout but didn't want to hold back.
Thurs is my heaviest workout because I won't be back to the gym until Mon or Tue, so I have 4-5 days to recover. No complaints. I actually think that schedule is helping with my rapid progress. When you work out too often, you are continually tearing muscle down. It takes time to rebuild that muscle. Besides, the more muscle you tear down too frequently, the more sore you become and you progress more slowly.
For now, I need a bath and bed.
