3-S Workout #13 - Shoulders and Arms - Awesome!
Started the workout with standing barbell overhead press. Goal was to up the weight 5 pounds and keep reps same as last time (sets of 125×5 last time). Warming up I felt good, but I had no idea that I was going to be as strong as I turned out to be! I did my best overhead pressing ever, here are the sets: 130×6, 135×6, 140×4, 130×4. Pushing that 4th rep at 140 I almost couldn’t believe it - when you are able to exceed expectations like that it is the most awesome feeling in the world!
Doing shoulders with arms was Plan B since upper body felt too sore to do them earlier in the week. Worked out well other than I was exhausted at the end of it - that was a lot of sets! Legs will be done tomorrow, I want to go heavier on squats.
I was alone at the gym most of the night (guess there were a lot of Halloween parties on the go) until two guys arrived just as I was finishing. I got to chatting with one of them and he soon started talking about the pro-hormones he had tried and said he got them on the ‘black market’. To make a long story short he implied that he had access to a lot of stuff and said he could hook me up with some if I was interested. I said no thanks, I was happy with my progress just taking some basic supplements and I wouldn’t want to take any chances of screwing up my body, especially at my age. He asked how old I was, I told him 44, he said that he would have said I was in my mid-thirties. Flattery will still not get me to use any of the stuff he was offering!
Time to go and get ready for the trick-or-treaters. I hope everyone has a safe and fun halloween!
