In bed at 9:30P, good sleeping until 2:30A. For some reason I woke up and my digital clock became a giant excel spreadsheet and I worked formulas for about an hour in my half sleep state. Fell back asleep and up at 4:30A. Got to the gym at 5:30A.
What a great workout. I have been feeling really strong this week and today was no exception.
I pulled out the 32KG and 28KG bells. I should have pulled a 24KG but by the time I figured out what I had done I decided to go with the 28KG for my figure 8′s. Did all 7 sets, unlike last week when I screwed up. I made sure my tracking sheet was correct. I have it set up so I have to actually check off each set as I complete it. I alternated between the 28KG and 32KG for the figure 8′s. At least for today, there did not seem to be much of a difference between 32KG and 28KG. The big problem I have now is deciding if I should tell Dave. If I tell him I was using the 28KG and 32KG for the figure 8′s I kind of know what next weeks workout will look like. So Dave, if you have read this, please ignore.
Wednesday
Core Circuit – same as workout 1
Circuit – Repeat for 7 total sets with 1 minute rest between sets
1-Hand Kettlebell Swings 32 kg – 22 reps each
Kettlebell Figure 8’s 24 kg – 15 each
For those with a need to know 22 swings on each arm for 7 sets comes to 308 total swings X 70 lbs each = 21,560 pounds. Not a bad lift for before breakfast.
Did not have any problems with the elbow or shoulder but still passed on my rehab exercises until next week.
I really did not want to do my cardio. It’s really not part of my workout, I just always do it. I kept trying to come up with an excuse to not do it, but I could not. It’s kind of like an OCD thing. I have to do it or I can’t leave the gym. I would feel like I left something undone.
Today was another busy day at work so the time passed quickly. Bill Smith stopped over this evening to have me check on some houses he is looking at on the internet. I wonder if he will ever make a decision. I swear I have looked up every house for sale in town for him.
Still very cold and just a few snow flurries today.
