When last I left these pages, I was griping about energy and motivation. I said I hoped that the gym would perk me up and...

...it DID!

I'm going to present the workout in a different format today, to see how that works for me. I'll be recording total volume for the workout as I list the sets. Here are some notes on volume as a concept...note that I am not at that level yet ;>. The point is this, as it is in any other view of strength training...KEEP LIFTING MORE

• Bike: 5 minutes; starting heart rate 99; ending rate 151

• Glute Kicks; 3 sets @ 110 lbs, per leg; (10, 12,14): Total Volume - 7920 lbs

• Adductor; 3 sets @150 total; (12,14,16): Set Total - 6300 lbs: Running Total Volume - 20,520 lbs

• Chest press; 3 sets @ 100 total; (12, 14, 16): Set Total - 4200 lbs: Running Total Volume - 24, 720 lbs

So, over 20 tons today ;>

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt

notes

Not quite the image I was looking for, but it lead to this(Why Your Lazy Ass is Making You Depressed) interesting article...

1- I like this format; I will try to remember to do it this way again
2- There is the issue of distance in moving the weight. The shoulder shrugs are shrugs for example. Everytime i lift my fat ass out of the chair and go grab another donut, I am working out ROFL.
However, for the purposes of tracking workouts, i think this approach will work
3- Today was heavy on leg work, so days like this will be skewed towards higher totals.
4- The "i" on this keyboard is pissing me off, it won't record the SHIFT towards capitalization, and yet it creeps into almost every other word I type ;>
