     I'm actually happy with what I did here. It made me happy to get that 125lb even if it was with the shoulder saver pad. It's going to make me stronger, in the long run and I know I won't need the pad for too much longer to get that weight. I kind of went back to a place (mentally) that I haven't been in for a while. It's a place of loving the grind, loving the hurt (the good kind) and loving the effort. I was super pleased to get to 45lb on the curls. Who doesn't love a good hammer curl? there's just something about them that make you feel great, at least, that's how they make me feel.
     As I was doing the reverse hypers, I wondered why they felt so  difficult. That's when I realized there was weight on the machine! hahaha. Oh well,  I still managed 10, but took it off for the next set. I wanted to get 4 sets of all that stuff, but I could feel my back and hips tightening up, so I eased up and left it at 2 sets. It's amazing to me, that just body weight work on my back stresses it so. I really hope that one of these days, I gain some decent strength back there.
     I was going to do legs with anyone that showed up for class, but nobody showed, so I'll do legs tonight after work. 
This morning, I am sore and I am happy. I can't ask for much more than that
