1/4 down

Gotta say, today's workout was by far the easiest thus far. i felt kinda' odd about drinking the extra calories in the Surge, but i did it anyway. The whole workout took maybe 20 mins. She proceeded:

Bent-o'er BB Rows:
1 x 5 x 155
4 x 5 x 165
Had to add those fives in a hurry to get 'er done in 30 sec. Think i could go a tad heavier next time.

Overhead Squat:
5 x 5 x 45 (seriously, the bar)
These are just plain awkward. The weight felt like nothin' even on my scrawny delts, but i nearly fell on my face trying to do the motion with more weight. It felt more like a core/stability exercise-- which maybe it's supposed to.

Dips:
5x5xbw
i hate dips. i hate them because i have no shoulders and no triceps to speak of, but i hate them because they exactly manage to hurt every joint in my upper body. Anyways, i finished 'em with no discernible injuries.

Ab Wheel:
5 x 5 on knees
i really like these things. i didn't even take the thing in the gym with me, partly 'cuz i felt like a homo carrying my wheel around with me, and partly 'cuz i was mildly afraid i would wheel out to the end of my extension and simply fall flat on my face. Wasn't nearly as hard as i was expecting, and it was a fabulous stretch.

i took (and plan in the future to take) half of the alotted Surge before m' workout, and the other half afterwards. It seems to settle just fine that way, and i have some juice to work out on. Plus i don't have so much of the filthy grog left to swill when my stomach is less stable. Also i bought some lemon and lime and orange flavored mineral waters at the store today. That stuff's nice. i love mineral water anyway, but it fills yer stomach up with air, and it has no calories or sweeteners of any kind. And i really didn't feel like i wanted food so badly after i got to eat yesterday. That was a nice change.

yeah, can't say I had a lot of fun with the overhead squats. Those things are all about core stability. My core didn't like that at all.

I think you did one too many sets of five on everything. Monday should be 20 reps.

Oh yeah. i didn't do too many... i just can't count. Subtract one set from each of those, eh.
