In a somewhat unusual move, I decided to go to the gym around 10:30 in the morning, prior to a 12:30 to 9 shift at the Major Home Improvement Retailer. I didn’t want to miss a day, and even if the gym were open after my shift (it wouldn’t be) I knew that after eight hours at the MHIR any semblance of motivation would be entirely absent. So a morning trip it was.
I did some fairly light back and bicep work. First came cable rows, 5 x 8 x 145. I tried to concentrate really hard on the stretch and contraction to increase the results. Next came a session on a Life Fitness lower back extension machine that hardly anyone except me ever seems to use, 3 x 10 x resistance level 12. Hey, it’s not used much, but I like it. I finished the short set with some cable bicep curls, 4 x 8 x 42.5. All in all a quick session, but it will help.
