Week 2 in da books. 10 to go
Despite a ridiculous weekend, I feel good about my progress. 3 days of solid cardio work in. 4 days of weights, and NO BACK ISSUES!!!!!
Got up this morning to start week 3 with 25 minutes on the treadmill. Got a good sweat to start the day followed by a health breakfast of eggs and chicken breast.
Had oatmeal as my mid morning (breakfast #2), and an did arms at lunch. It is always interesting when I workout at the gym here at work. The equipment is limited and old, so I put my mind set to some prehistoric warrior. I bang 8 sets with the 35-50 lb dumbbells and finish with some machine preachers. I follow that up with 3 sets on the tri-press downs. They have a weighted dip machine that cracks me up. I don’t know how accurate the weight pile is, but I do the whole stack for 3 sets of 20. People look at me like I am crazy cause I get that serious look. Hilarious. They don’t know I am zoned out. Not even worried about them. I finish up with 3 sets of seated dips to burnout. Needless to say, I struggle getting my shirt over my head. Nothing like the burn from arm day.
Oh and not to allow myself to get to focused on growing, I jumped on the treadmill for another 15 minutes.
About to enjoy my salad now. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

I can see why your arms don’t quite function after your workout.
I’m glad to hear your back is holding up!
