June 12th. RP Day A3.
So I finally broke down and bought a fat burner to help me lose some of my bodyfat a little quicker. I had hoped that by doing cardio every day, and our marathon training, that I wouldnt need anything like that, but since the move and the fact that we are so far from the gym, we havent been doing cardio every morning or getting to the gym everyday so I needed a boost. I bought Lipo6 from Nutrex since it seems to be getting rave reviews and won the award on here for best fat burner two years in a row. We will see how I like it. Anyway, today was a good workout, and we did it quickly and efficiently while still working hard, and we even left enough time to do a 12 minute tempo run on the treadmill afterwards for our marathon training. In other news, the deli/restaurant that I am working at has decided to make me the manager. The place just opened last week, and the 3 owners have been running everything, but they all have other jobs at night and have been exhausted from working so much, so I am now gonna be helping them run things which is cool, plus they are giving me a decent raise which is also cool. My brother is getting married in San Diego on the 23rd of this month, and I am in the wedding, but I have absolutely no desire to go. I dont want to drive the 4 hours there, I dont want to miss work, I dont want to waste a saturday doing wedding crap when I have a 12 mile marathon run to do that morning, the Angels are on in the afternoon, and I could be playing bingo or going bowling, or doing something fun that evening. I have contemplated skipping the wedding, but I would basically be disowned by the family, and it would really hurt my moms feelings alot, and she does so much for me that I wouldnt want to do that. Anyway, the workout today was uneventful, I switched up some of the exercises as planned. I have never in my life done flat bench dumbell presses for chest, I have always done strictly the inclines, so that was interesting. And with the rest pause on the last set, I didnt know what to do with the dumbell during the rest parts. I also havent done much overhead dumbell shoulder pressing, so I was unsure about the weight, but I think it worked out ok. Heres how it went.
Flat Dumbell Bench Press: 75, 11 reps.
Seated Dumbell Shoulder Press: 50, 11 reps.
Seated Low Row Hammer Machine: 120E, 18 reps.
Pullups: 76H, 11 reps.
Dips: 76E, 15 reps.
