Round 2

You'll be proud to know that i turned down a beer--in a pub--with some mates on Mon. That hurt. And i'm planning on having one this time next week to celebrate the victory. But for now i'm swilling an apple, blueberry, pear, cinnamon, and chocolate protein smoothie. And it's pretty darn tasty.

Looking back, the three hour climbing session was probably not the ideal lead-in to the curls today. But it wasn't as bad as it could'a been. Steph pawned the kids off to a sweat shop for a few hours, and she joined me for some Kletterei. i think i got the crux worked out on a v7. Also got a couple of 5.11s, a v4, and a handful of unrated stuff. Pretty hard session. Then i started the "3" portion of the 5/3/1 thang. The standing presses went well. 120/125/135 it was. DB militaries 4 x 12 with 40/35/35/35 but i didn't get that last rep on the last set. Laterals 4 x 12 with 20s. BB curls 4 x 12 with 40. Preachers 4 x 10 with ...don't know what the EZ curl bar weighs, but +40 for a set, then 3 sets with +50. Those were hard. i suspect that those, in turn, will negatively affect pullups on fri. Ah well. Perhaps it will all work together to make me a more serious love machine.

And i now have more confidence in the veracity of my bathroom scales. Weighed in at just a smidge under 200. i knew i'd gained some lard in Vegas. Now i gotta start running again.

I was up a couple lbs this morning myself. Amazing what one weekend of beer and crappy food can do you. Good job on the beer denial. That is most definitely my week spot.
