Time to gym it…

Today will be Push / Pull #2 workout…sadly, this will be only the 2nd time this week I was able to get to the gym. Having a demanding Vice President asking for stuff, working until 7 a few nights, and then forgetting my gym shoes are the excuses for Tues-Thursday. And I couldn’t just go get my shoes…my gym is down the street from my office, which is 35 miles from my home.

BUT! HAPPY FRIDAY…time to the gym, then for a fun weekend!

Busy busy

It’s been a busy week already, with a trip this weekend to Washington DC, so I haven’t really been as focused as I should be. Still eating halfway decently, and really trying to stick to my protein intake. I keep a container of protein powder at work in the break room, and try to do at least two shakes a day while at work, then my PWO shake on my way home. Energy has been OK recently, and I’m starting to see some small results in my workout - especially my triceps and lats.

The Monday After…

So after the long holiday weekend, I hit the gym hard - it was about all I could think of come 2PM, so I was hanging out here, looking at pics, reading some articles, etc. It was a slow day at work, if you couldn’t tell. ANYWAY…

Got to the gym and I was READY. Pulled out the 2nd exercise routine from the Push Me/Pull Me routine, although, had to do it from memory. Looking at what I did, I was pretty close, however, I did substitute a few things…

The workout was good - I think I really like doing 5-7 sets of exercises, because by the time I got to the dips, I "failed" at the exercise. So, off to the locker room to down a PWO shake, and sit in the sauna for a little bit and stretch.

When I got home, I whipped up some sauteed shrimp in a bit of olive oil and pepper, garlic, onion and red pepper flakes, and steamed some frozen broccoli. Now, I’m stuffed, happy, and ready for bed.

First day with a new routine

So I pulled a few workouts off of the DB here at bb.com, and decided on the Push Me/Pull Me routine, posted by Andrew Joseph Wright. WHOA. Routine #1 kick my BUTT, and by butt, I mean my entire upper body! It was brutal…there are 7 sets to do on 8 exercises…by the time I got to the SkullCrushers (exercise #7) my body was screaming "UNCLE!!"

I can tell it definitely did something though…I’m not sore, but, muscles still feel fatigued, and quite…firm. Today will be: T-Bar Rows, Lat Pulldowns, Rows, Shrugs, barbell curls, and dumbell curls. Definitely a little more manageable.

Welcome!
