Entry #681

I ran out of time again tonight, but I at least got the important stuff done. All I missed out on were curls and ab stuff.

Bench press:
6 x 3     135, 185, 225, 275, 295, 310 lbs.
> This came without any struggle. 315 for 3 will be a cool milestone next week.

Cable pressdown:
4 x 8     120 lbs.
> This was with the machine normally used for lat pulldowns. The other cable contraption is way too easy, even with the entire 150 lb. stack.

EZ bar front raises:
3 x 8     95 lbs.
> I thought of this on the fly. I quite liked it. Bilateral movements are always tougher.

Bilateral lying dumbbell rows:
3 x 10   90 lb. dumbbells
> I wanted to do unilaterals so I could wreck the 120 lb. dumbbells, but I was running out of time.

George and I are sparring on Saturday. We were talking about going out to a beach or something. I'm pretty suspect of his recent admiration for Evola, a philosopher who posited the degradation of societal ideals that advancing Westernization inflicted. Not that that's an original thesis or anything, but he layed it out nicely. However, this same author wrote an entire step-by-step instructional book about magic spells for budding alchemists. And not even cool magic spells, like making volcanos sprout through your living room.
