Stillhungry’s BodyBlog

Workouts have been inconsistent. Some good ones, some bad. Today was bad. Jeremy and I drove out to the Gold’s in Kirkland, just to see what it is like (had never been there). It was a delt and trap workout. Well, it was for Jeremy at least. I barely got in a few reps with the 100s on one set and couldn’t even get them up into position to start the next set. The we moved on to rear-delts, and again it was a struggle. I decided I was just forcing a bad workout out of myself so I stopped. Jeremy finished his workout.

I had an awesome delt/trap workout a week ago, getting the 100s up for three full sets. (Jeremy thinks they were the 105s, but I disagree.) So what gives? Could it be the 4-to-5 hours of sleep per night I got last Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday? Could it be continued work stress?

I really needa different job. I mean, here I am writing this blog entry on a Saturday while taking a break from work. That’s right: I cam home from the non-workout and started working. It’s just not the kind of work-life balance that’s conducive to fitness, let alone balls-to-walls sessions with the iron.

Quick post. I slept about 5 hours last night, was exhausted much of the day, and left work with more work to do tonight. But I had committed to a workout with my training partner, Jeremy, so I picked him up and we drove to Gold’s.

Thanks to Jeremy, I went for the 140s a couple of times tonight. I’d only done the 125s at our other gym, Allstar Fitness, because that’s as high as they go there.  But I got the 140s up twice tonight–not huge sets, but good enough.

Now I just need to focus on getting my work done and hope I get more than 5 hours of sleep.
