It is only tuesday! Sometimes the days fly by and other times it seems like it has been 5 days and its only been one. All went well yesterday and it was off to bed early which always makes me happy. The phone did ring sometime after I was already asleep, maybe only 9:30pm but still, that is a good sleep time for me, the person on the other end had a chihuahua with a broken leg but no money. We discussed it and they decided to wait until morning.
Up and out of bed and off to the gym at all the usual times. I pulled around the corner and there were 5 vehicles in front of the gym and I was not very happy about it. Thankfully by the time I was done with my dreadmill warm up there were only 2 people left and after my first round of benching it was empty for a few minutes before round two arrived.
bench heavy
bench
*45# for 3 sets of 5
*95# for 3 sets of 3
*115# for 3 sets of 1
*135# for 3 sets of 2
I hate hate hate that 135# feels so heavy :( It irritates me regardless of how much I tell myself it is ok, Im old, it doesnt matter. Dang it, it does matter but bench is one of those lifts I think it is really hard to push oneself on and force growth and strength without a spotter to help. So, I must continue on and on and on.
pause bench
*115# for 2 sets of 8
I will say that doing pause benching has helped me with changing my sticking point. Now instead of being low it is a bit higher and I need to try and come up with an adequate device so I can work on it.
pushups
*12,10,10
Pushups suck
lying tri extensions
*35# for 4 sets of 12
rope pushdowns
*80# for 4 sets of 10
pullups
*3,3
HLRs
*2 sets of 10
Things were pretty busy this morning. It didnt seem like it should have taken as long as it did to get through the morning schedule but it was 12:30 and we still had to spay a cat and amputate its leg. *sigh* Thankfully cat legs dont take long to remove especially when they have been broken for a month.
The afternoon has been consistently busy and it is nice that it is already 4pm and therefore almost time to be done. We do have three horses coming to have their teeth floated so I will get another workout in tonight.
