A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Swears

You always here me talk about keeping a notebook with your progress, well I took a picture of mine from last night. Not so much just to show I keep one, but to show the emotion that can be captured in the moment.

I went in to the gym scattered and angry and not really knowing what I wanted to do. I decided on the way in that I would try box squats (I had read an article), but I hadn't gone over it in my head like I normally do. It was horrible. I can't say much about it except that. I'm not really someone who likes to wing it in the gym. Maybe this is a lesson that I need to learn how to do that a little more, but it's also a lesson that I need to settle my mind before I get under that bar. On nights like this, when I had so much playing through my mind, I needed structure and I didn't have it. I got some movement in, but I won't even dignify it by calling it training.

Anyhow, after class started I got in a little bit of shoulder and core. Here's what I did:

O.H. Tri. Ext. 15lb x10, 25lb x8, 30lb x6, 30lb x3

T&Y 10lb x10, x8, x6, x3 

Front Raise/Squeeze 10lb x10, x8, x6, x3 

●●●●●●●●●●

3 Sets of the following:

Side plank 30 sec right side

Side plank 30 sec left side

Mountain Climbers 30 sec

Front plank 30 sec

Shoulder scarecrow (2.5lb ea hand) 30 sec.

●●●●●●●●●●

And that was it. I k ow I won't get a full workout during class, maybe as people advance I can work my sets in as well, but right now, I do most of my stuff before and or after class.

All in all, I'm not happy with my performance, but Friday is my next scheduled training day and I intend on being much more regimented than yesterday.
