Man, feels like this workout took place yesterday, but it was this morning, about twelve hours ago. I was really relaxed this morning and felt ahead of schedule. So I became complacent getting out of my house and was a little late. Go figure.
Shit, I’m not even sure what to say. I had a good workout. I used a different station for cable rows, because the one I normally use was taken. The weight increments were a little different. But it felt waaaay too easy. That didn’t feel like 60 lbs.
Sit-ups are starting to feel like max-effort sit-ups, if there is such a thing. I remember back to a time when I’d do a lot of sit-ups, and the last couple would be strenuous? I get that feeling rather fast now. It’s refreshing.
Really, I’m just looking forward to Friday’s lower workout. Phase II will have to end soon, whether I like it or not, and I still have some progress to make. I did yoga today, and will be doing it Wednesday and Thursday. Still, it’s plenty rest time for my fast-twitch fibers in my lower back. Hence why I insist on getting a day of full rest on Sunday.
Adjustments: Try to finish out those incline presses. I had another rep for bent-over rows, but it was bad form, so I didn’t count it. We’ll see if I can get that rep in good form next time. Dips are coming along.
