Burn Out

Good burn out that is....not bad burn out. I'm not "burned out". lol.

After Monday, I told Adam he needs to give me consequences when I don't do what I'm supposed to do. Monday I stopped way too many times between reps, worrying about whether I was going to get them all, instead of just lifting until I couldn't lift anymore...until I "burn out", each time.

Well, it did the trick, at least for Day 1 since saying that, because I didn't stop at all today. lol. I didn't want him to have to give me consequences.

Military on the Smith Machine was 95 lbs, 3 sets of 10 and my last set was 6. There was no way I was going any more than 6 that last set. Close Grip Pulldown was 150 lbs, two sets of 20. Single Arm Rows, first set 50 lbs 15 reps, second set 60 lbs 10 reps. Ext. & Int. Rotations with the bands, I think we went 2 sets of 15 reps for each thing on each arm. I got dubbed "Godzilla Shoulders" today. Adam said it hurt him just to watch how far I had the band stretched out to do my Rotations. haha.

Pull-ups were wonderful today. There are these brothers that come to the gym...Carni and Brian, and they're really cool...help me out a lot when they're there. Anyway, Brian was finishing up his workout, so I had him pull my chair out from under me so that my legs didn't get tangled up in it as I pulled up. 4 sets, 13, 11, 10, 7. Then in the Machine room I did Military press again, on the Cable Military machine, 130 lbs 4 sets of 12. 45 of my new Reverse Wrist Curls. Then I did Alternating Supermans, 2 sets of 25 each side.

Pool went well today..much better than Monday actually. I didn't swallow near as much water. My "drill" today was side stroke for 5 minutes. My "Pulls" were better in form today. And my Back Stroke must be my stronger stroke because it took me 10 minutes less for my entire routine than it did on Monday when I did Breast Stroke as my main stroke. Tomorrow is my long day, I'll do both strokes, 20 laps a piece. And Friday I'm training in the morning because I have a meeting in the afternoon.
