Day 2

Posted by swljuggernaut on April 29, 2009

I weighed in this am at 221.3 and then took my pictures, and headed to the gym. I had a great workout, in and out quickly and came home, cooked some meals, shot a VLOG and headed to work.

I got a lift to work because my wife didn’t have to work this morning, but I walked the 4km home (in the rain). I am keeping track of my daily steps with a pedometer and have been doing good through the first two days of hitting my 10000 a day goal:

Day 1: 14764 steps
Day 2: 11211 steps

Today’s workout:

leg press 230*20/230*20/230*18/230*16/230*16/230*15
sl dead 40*20/16/15/14
mil b press 40*20/16/15/14
b curl 30*20/20/18/18

floor crunch 15/15/15
leg raise 15/15/15
obli crunch 15/15/15

As I get older (I am 36) I have learned to take my ego out of the gym. Due to my various limitations (various longstanding nagging injuries) I am limited in some range of movements, and also I am not as strong as I once was. As a matter of fact I was SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER in my late teens, early 20′s then I am now. It used to drive me insane. I know now while always trying to lift more (in good form) I am where I am. I just have to bust my butt in the gym to improve, but sooking about not being as strong as I want won’t get me anywhere.
