Is this too much? Heh.
Another weekend, another chance to abuse my body!
Decided to hook up with some friends that were off to climb a different route on Mt. Baker (much longer than last week’s) so left town at 12am, got on the trail at 3am and finished up around 6pm. Unlike last week, this time I’m feeling it! Going to have to put off my leg day until mid-week, my calves and quads are still screaming. My back got a good workout too- hauling that damn pack for so long. All in all, hiked 8500 vertical feet and about 14 miles round trip. We skied about 6000 feet from the summit- which was way rad.
For some reason, I just can’t seem to take a day off! So of course after sleeping for mad hours today- I got up and decided to hit chest (it was about the only muscle group I didn’t exhaust yesterday). Considering the toll my body took from yesterday- I had a great session. Too tired to remember all the numbers - but here’s a snapshot.
flat bench sets 185,225,240,250,225
db incline fly sets alt with swiss ball pushups 45,50,55,55,50
db incline sets 80,80,80,65
pec dec single arm 130,130,130

I had an "abusive" week this week, and loved it. Hope to have another one this week. I did give myself the weekend off though, because family came in to see my wife, daughter, and I. Got to play racquetball, though, and I loved that.
Don’t get too caught up into exercising that you make yourself sick. I’ve done that before. But if you can hack it, go for it!!!!
Have a great day!

you definitely have to listen to your body. i’ll usually try to push it until I know it’s time to stop. hmmm…now where was that can of Red Bull?
