Chest-Tri’s-Shoulders-Core EARLY
I woke up at 4:15 AM this morning (Saturday!) and by about 4:45, it was clear that I was not going to get back to sleep, so I got up, showered, and headed to the Gym. Snap Fitness is a 24-hour gym, and it has motion sensors that turn on the lights when someone is there… it was dark. It it was kind of cool being there first. That early on a Saturday, sometimes you just don’t want to see anyone yet. A few people straggled in later. I am making it a point to speak to everyone that I can, even if it’s just to tell everyone to have a good day when I leave. It doesn’t seem natural for me, but it gets easier.
I went just a touch heavier that I have lately, and I was feeling the secondary strain on my right bicep. Went really, really light on shoulders, because I am building them back up after having some over-training pain.
Asst. Pull-Up 4 x 10 x 137# (that’s my weight with the assist weight subtracted)
Asst. Dips 4 x 10 x 137# (same)
Cable Lateral Raise 4 x 10 x 20# (10 L + 10 R)
Cable Internal Rot. 4 x 10 x 40# (20 L & 20 R)
Cable External Rot. 4 x 10 x 40# (same)
Pectoral Fly Mach 10×110#, 10×130#, 10×120#, 10×120#
Pl Loaded Chest Pr 5×160# 5×160#, 5×180#
Cable Overhead Tris 4 x 10 x 60#
Ab Machine 4 x 10 x 90#
My workout tomorrow morning will be the same muscle groups, and the Monday back to legs, back, biceps.
It was nice getting it done early because I had my big breakfast, drank coffee, and watched a movie with my beagle on the sofa before the rest of the family even poked their heads out of their bedrooms. Now for my next workout: Mowing the lawn.

Great job with getting it up and get going. I love working out early and then coming home before any one is up! It makes me feel like I started my day off perfect!

Exactly!! Thanks! An I am usually really obnoxiously awake, singing and goofing around while everyone else is grumbling.
