Hotel workout: part four!
Well, real quick and since it is late, I thought I’d post my Hotel workout for tonight. I finally get a break from the road this holiday weekend and for the next two weeks….After that, it’s another three weeks on the road…..Blows? Yes! but hey, whatcha gonna do, right? Gotta pay the bills and it’s funny how bills work, if you don’t pay ‘em, they don’t go away. As a matter of fact, they somehow, get bigger…..huh, how does that work?
I apologize for digressing there…..Get to the training doofus, right?
Here goes and remember this is in a hotel with a dilapitated circa middle eighties Universal machine and a generic circa Costco magnetic resistence bike:
Wide grip pull-downs - 6 X 20 - 200 lbs (stack)
Close grip pull-downs (underhand) - 5 X 15 - 200 lbs (stack)
Wide grip low-pulleys 7 X 20 - 155 lbs.
Close grip low-pulleys (overhand) 6 X 15 - 155 lbs.
Roman sit-ups (twisting) 5 X 20
Bike 30 minutes….It stated that I burned 300 calories…..(Hey, that’s 30 grams of fat, cool deal)
Lesson number one when training on the road: Look for a muscle burn and pump, rather than trying to build new muscle. It’s all about feel people, when you’re on the road. I get great pumps with the medium weight and higher reps.
Lesson number two: Try to take in less calories than you are burning.
More later……

June 11-15 I’m going to be in Washington DC staying in a hotel and have no place to lift, so I’ll be in the same boat with you… Hopefully they at least have a little workout room for me to do some reps in…
