We Didn't Phone It In

     We missed yesterday's workout which meant it was a must that we went today. The gym was pretty empty, except for one weird kid that was singing to himself. You now what I noticed though? Everyone is on their dang phones. Now, I understand the concept of timing heavy sets, or more so the recovery time, but it seems like they're timing everything. Every set gets at least a minute rest. Am I missing something here because that seems a bit...excessive. Maybe that's why I don't see more people sweating. I guess it really isn't my issue to worry over, I just find it odd.

     Anyhoo...It was back to upper body for me so I started with bench and moved on to some accessories. Here's what got done tonight:

••••••••••

BENCH PRESS:

55lb x10

65lb x10

CHIN UPS:

105 x5

*in case you don't know, because I didn't, the higher the weight, the bigger the assist. So the goal on these is to have less weight.

70lb x10 ea. side

     I hadn't even seen the dip/chin up machine the other times that we've been there. I was glad I saw it because I really liked it! I can't do either a dip or chin up/pull up so this machine is going to be a great help to me. 

     Everything went pretty well tonight. I'm glad I made some improvement on the bench and the crunch. I haven't seen any improvement on the scale to speak of. it's up and down from day to day. I have noticed, I think, that my love handles have shrunk some and my shirts are fitting a little better. It's a tiny thing, but it gives me a small boost to my mood.
