Entry #487
Today should not have happened. First, the gym closes at 7:00 on weekends. I realized at 5:00 that I had run out of whey, and my ride to the store didn't work out, so I just walked to Whole Foods and back to get some. With an hour left, I ran to the gym, where I finished a lifting session that I normally take a good two hours to complete in only forty-five minutes while winded and hungry. What's more, I did better than last week.
Bench press:
1 X 15 45 lbs.
3 X 3 135, 185, 225 lbs.
1 X 2 265 lbs.
> Rest times spanned about a minute.
Overhead dumbbell press:
1 X 8 80 lb. dumbbells
1 X 5 80 lb. dumbbells
1 X 6 60 lb. dumbbells
> Focus on kicking up each leg individually for the set-up. I keep falling short on one side because of inadequate height.
Bent-over rows:
5 X 10 155 lbs.
Front raises:
3 X 12 25 lb. plates
> Killed the forearms.
Abdominal circuit
Walked home, as always. I also discovered a bunch of boxing equipment stashed away in a cabinet in one of the rooms. There were various gloves, mitts, chest-protectors, and even the ever elusive weight-belts. I've struck gold.
Sometimes that panic and intensity of running out of time carries over to your lifting. I've had several sessions where I had to cut rest times and sprint to equipment and had my best day ever in the gym. It's not a good day to day practice, but once in a while, very effective.

"Someone must've written about it somewhere."I think I read something similar to that in one of Pavel's newsletters. I may be mistaken, though.Wicked day, though.
