Not Every Day Is A Winner

     Tonight was not a good night. Let's just jump into what got done, which wasn't much:

••••••••••

BARBELL SHRUGS:

Bar x10

65lb x12

(115lb x15) 2x

     It was at this point that I was beginning to feel extremely agitated. there were about 5 or so young boys all on their phones, all just grouped around talking and watching. 

GOOD MORNINGS:

65lb x10

     This is when I threw in the towel and left the weight room. Good mornings are, let's say, an awkward move to begin with. That awkwardness is made even more palpable when young men are hanging around on the benches behind you while you're trying to make sure your form is right. Now, mind you, Frank always stands behind me when I do things like this because he's a gentleman, but I was still more than mildly self conscious. I also caught a glimpse of my fat self in the wall of mirrors and, you know, some days I just don't need to be reminded of how far I've fallen. 

     Frank and I went out to try and do some cable work. That was a shit show as well because now I'm agitated, pissed and fed up and the friggin pulldown bar is falling on my head. I tried a few pulldowns and quit. I went over to the bike and pedaled out my aggression. 

RECUMBENT BIKE:

10 min; level 4 Rolling Hills; 2.38 miles.

     I found Frank and told him that I was going to try to do some KB swings. They're in the back corner of the weight room and it looked as though all the children had left. Nope. They were all there. One was doing wall balls. Maybe sets of 10 with a moderate rest period of about 10 minutes in between each set. 

KB SWINGS:

(45lb x15) 5x

DB REVERSE LUNGE:

10lb x5 ea. leg

*Pathetic that I can only do 10lbs, but it is what it is. Mind you, I hadn't planned on doing this so I had no braces on.

(12lb x5 ea. leg) 2x

*I made a mindful effort to only use my toe tips on my back foot to stabilize myself and to really push off with that front leg with zero weight on the rear leg. 

SINGLE LEG RDL:

(20lb x5) 3x

••••••••••

     And that was it. We were there roughly 45 minutes, so all was not lost, but it certainly was not what I would call a productive night. I know that it's the Y, and there's going to be a mix of people there. That being said, I'm already over all the kids with their chit-chat and their phones. They sit on the machines, they hang around and talk while people are working and it's annoying. There's a whole rest area out in the lobby where they could sit in nice comfy chairs and shoot the shit, they can go upstairs to the indoor track and goof off, they could even hang around outside. Don't be in the way of people who are trying to work. Especially cranky old women who ain't got time for your shit. 

     Anyway, we were more productive than if we had stayed home so that's a positive. My head is beginning to hurt so I'm going to eat and relax and try to shake this funk. Onwards and upwards.
