Friday – 07 January 2011
It’s Friday and my 9/80 “off” day. Despite that, I’ve been somewhat productive this morning. I’ve already take my car to the shop (tune-up and tires), started laundry, prepped the carpets for vacuuming.  And it’s barely 10:30. (Well, it was when I typed that…) I consider that “productive.”

Last night, SaraRules! and I hit the gym, for my first workout of the year. She started a new routine, so I figured that I’d give it a go.  It wasn’t too bad… except for the lunges:

  • Bench Press: 3 sets/8 reps, 165 lbs
  • Front Squat/Push (shoulder) Press: 2 sets/10 reps, 40 lbs
  • Step-ups: 2 sets/10 reps, 25 lb dumbbells
  • Bent-over Row: 2 sets/10 reps, 25 lbs
  • Lunge (static, one foot elevated): 2 sets/10 reps
    • Set 1: 25 lb dumbbells
    • Set 2: 15 lb dumbbells
  • Push-ups: 2 sets/10 reps
  • Plank: 2 sets/45 seconds
  • Cable Horizontal Wood Chop: 2 sets/10 reps, 30 lbs

All-in-all, not a bad workout. There were a couple of exercises that were awkward, but nothing insurmountable.

I read this yesterday, and shared it with Nyx, but neglected to add it to yesterday’s post: The Agonizing Last Words of Bill Zeller

And with that, on to the rest of the day…

Namaste.
