annieand daddy

Annie wrote my title. Drawing a straight blank. Did work out this last week a few times. Got a bad climbing session in on mon, and a better one in on wed (i think). Yesterday (fri) i went to the irongym for some chest/shoulder action. Turned out to be a good workout...at least by my humble standards. Paid some serious attention to m' form on bench, and i didn't hurt, so i'm happy and motivated. For future reference:

Random Shoulder Motions:

1,000,000 x some weights

Bench Press:

30 x bar
10 x 135
5 x 155
2 x 5 x 175

Funny feeling to arch my back and drive with the legs with 135lbs, but it was a nice warmup and it didn't hurt. Didn't push super hard--partially cuz i didn't want to damage m' shoulder, and partially cuz i didn't have a spotter--but it felt mighty good to do some bench again without pain.

Shoulder Flexion:

3 x 5-6 x weights

Lat. Shoulder Flexion:

same, but different weights

Pec Deck:

something x 14
more x 8ish

All in all, a good workout. Mostly i didn't injure me. And i can't quite lift my arms above my head today. Think i'm gunna go climbing and/or running in a few minutes. i'm working a cool li'l v4.

Later that evening...

Well. i went running. i gather it was somewhere in the vicinity of 100deg. This was not a good idea. Did a run that usually takes me a hair under 1 hr, and it took closer to 1.25 hrs and my HR was consistently 20bpm higher than usual. i finally stopped running after an hour and some change cuz i was so exhausted and i couldn't run slow enough to get my HR below 165.

Then i went climbing. That went much better. Got a handful of v4s, and just generally climbed better than i had in a while. Overall some good workouts ('cept for that silly heat exhaustion bit).

I've gotta start running again. I hate the thought, but it would be the easiest way to get some cardio in. Do you think a half hour run four days a week would be enough to do any good?

Mos' definitely. You should give that a try.
