Well last night was the first night at the gym. It was crazy busy. I got a good workout but I’m so used to being able to go all out and there I wasn’t able to. Mainly because I was getting a feel for where everything was and you can’t always go to the machine you want right away, which is no big deal really. The worst thing was the cardio machines. They simply do not have enough for the amount of people they have. We weren’t able to do a 5 min warmup because every machine was taken upstairs and down. So we just got right to work. After weights we did cardio, the only machines that were open side by side were two bikes. I learned last night how much I hate the bike, I’d much rather run my ass off. So tonight instead of trying to do cardio side by side (unless there’s machines open) we’re going to split up on whatever we can find. Hopefully we can get a 5 min warmup in. I wish they had a track at this gym, oh well. So here’s what I did. I don’t remember all of the weights. Tonight, I’m going to bring my blackberry in and will input numbers so I can remember.
Chest/Bi’s/Shoulders/Legs
chest press 3×12x20
flyes 3×12x 10-20 ?
shoulder press 2×12x10 1×8x10
lateral raise 1×12x10 1×12x15 1×12x10
bicep curls 3×12x20
db curls 3×12x10 free weights are harder
adductor 1×12x40 2×12x55
leg press 1×12x105 1×12x70 1×12x55 (when I sat down on this machine I thought the lock was on because I couldn’t budge it, then I just realized the weight was heavier than I thought, lol I hate being a newbie)
cardio: 20 min on the bike, this was a complete joke, barely even broke a sweat.
I think that was a pretty good workout for our first night. I’m glad I had a POA instead of wondering around with no direction. Joe did more shoulder machines, because that is his main focus. We saw a guy there from his work, so that was cool. I’m hoping tonight won’t be as crowded. Tonight is leg night, I’ll be kicking some butt. (mine)
