Finally doing the auxiliary work
Thursday marked the end of the workweek at my main job and it was even tougher than the first three days had been. Ugh. I have one more week of this brutal work cycle to go, but it should be a bit more manageable as I will be at worksites that usually go well. At least I hope so.
No gym on Thursday, another rest day, but after doing some day-off chores on Friday I went in the early afternoon. It was surprisingly crowded given the time. It had dawned on me that while I had benched on Wednesday I hadn’t done any of the upper body auxiliary work, so that’s what I now did. Some residual soreness in my right shoulder made dumbbell shoulder presses inadvisable so I did light machine shoulder work instead. Dumbbell French presses: 5 x 8 x 50. Up five pounds from last time. Hammer Strength shoulder presses: 4 x 8 x 70/70. Light, I know. Pec deck flies: 4 x 8 x 150. Yet again up five pounds from last time. All in all I made the best of a non-ideal situation.
