Like the title says, the bad weekend went right through the week. Work-out number one was on Tuesday (should've been Monday), which would dictate that workout number two be on Thursday, but I was sick on Thursday, so, here it is Friday, and I just did workout number two. Workout number three will be tomorrow. Onward and upward for next week.
The knee pain I was having, probably as a result of going too far down on the dead lifts and squats, has lessened - a good sign. Also, I'm once again not feeling this workout as much as I think I should. I'm just not as sore as I think I should be. And I'm a little worried that this weight workout isn't doing as many different things as my circuit was doing. I think tomorrow's workout will be my circuit followed by half an hour on the elliptical.
I totally wanted a cigarette at work this afternoon. It was after lunch. A slow Friday. I had an intellectual problem to solve and I just needed to sit down with a cigarette and think a bit. But I didn't. I sat at my desk, without the sunshine, without the other smokers around me, without a cigarette, and tried to think, instead.
Again, my normal gym doesn't have 2.5lb weights for the bar-bells. So, I had to adjust the amount of weight lifted a bit.
Dead lifts:
15 @ 30 lbs - 10 @ 40 lbs - 8 @ 50 lbs
Bent-over rows (using dumb-bells):
15 reps @ 10 lbs - 10 reps @ 15 lbs - 8 reps @ 20 lbs
Goblet Squats:
15 reps @ 20 lbs - 10 reps @ 25 lbs - 8 reps @ 30 lbs
Medicine Ball slams (6-lb medicine ball):
15 reps - 15 reps - 15 reps
Straight-leg Dead lifts:
15 reps @ 30 lbs - 10 reps @ 40 lbs - 8 reps @ 50 lbs
And 30 minutes on the elliptical. I burned 287 calories (Yay!) and went 2.36 miles with the 1-1 interval program and the upper left at 4.
