Finally made it back to the gym on Sunday after a few days off. It was even crowded on Sunday. Don't these clowns have football to watch or something? Oh yeah, they're watching football at the gym, while they're idling on the piece of equipment I wanted to work out on. But I'm not bitter or anything.
Preacher Curl 65 - 16 reps 85 - 12 reps 105 - 10 reps 115 - 8 reps 115 - 7 reps 105 - 10, 7 reps Hadn't done these in a while. Felt pretty good, especially my forearm which has healed up fairly well and might be ready for some heavy lifting. That's something you ease into, though.
Standing barbell curl 95 - 5 sets of 10 reps Had to cheat a bit on the last few reps in the last few sets.
Power Shrugs 225 - 12 reps 275 - 8 reps 275 - 8 reps 275 - 7 reps 225 - 10 reps Dang, flvegan, I can't find my wrist straps. I can buy new ones but I like how the old ones have molded to the shape of my hands. They're way comfortable. I'll have to break in some new ones. On the heavy sets, I was holding the bar with three fingers; it had already slipped past my thumb. :(
Everyone - watch when people do these, especially when they go heavy. Their heels leave the ground on every rep, I see it all the time. That means they're jumping. Using the body's momentum to lift. That's cheating. Don't do it, except maybe on the last couple of reps to finish off your set. You're doing these to work your traps, not your jump.
Sit Ups, Oblique Twist 4 sets - 20, 20, 16, 12 reps. Man, I hate sit ups.
Wanted to do some cardio but every piece of equipment had someone strolling on it. Ended up going for a long walk later in the day instead.
