I started getting a cold yesterday, so I moved this workout off one day. I might as well, I won’t get the chance to really rest through the upcoming semester. I know I run myself into the ground. I wanted to lift today, because I know I usually feel better afterwards. Which I do.

I think this workout is reaching the end of its usefulness. Though. I rowed 60 lb dumbbells. I like that, that means my rows are getting stronger than my bench. Which means my bench should grow more. Or something like that. The hardest part of it is just getting those damn dumbbells back up on the rack. And I’m not sure what cable-curling 80 lbs means. I don’t know what the difference between cable and freeweight is. Oh. I remember I had a huge bicep pump at the beginning of this phase. That’s since receeded. I’m so glad, that was really uncomfortable.

I really want to just end this phase tomorrow, then start Phase VI on Saturday.
