Life update
Hey hey,
It's 1am and I've got no reason to go to sleep. Partially because I've got a headache and I can't and partially because I can sleepwalk through work tomorrow and still get everything done. I'm just *that* good.
I hit up the gym this evening with a vengeance. The passion for beating the living shit out of my body flared up in the weekend but could not be satiated because the gyms all close at 1. Sucks doesn't it? An arguement could be made for me getting up earlier but refer to my earlier post about "Weekends being mine" and you'll see why that isn't on the cards.
Legs and Shoulders this evening. Tried out a pre-exhausting methodology with my legs tonight to see how they reacted and it worked out well. The theory is that you do isolation exercises first before hitting the compound exercises. This way the major muscle groups are tired before you get to the compound exercise and the supporting muscles are fresh. Usually the supporting muscles are weaker than the major muscle you're trying to target and so by pre-exhausting the larger muscle they give out around the same time rather than the weaker muscle holding you back from being able to take your sets to failure.
That's gym speak for "until you can't lift anymore weight in a set".
I'm lining up for the Unholy Leg Thrash which is how Arnold built his legs of solid oak. I still don't know if I want to be throwing up after a leg workout though. I'm sure some people get a kick out of it...
The In Nomine games at the moment are awesome McAwesome. Michael goes back to his normal shifts next week which will cut him out of the Wednesday game. Hopefully he can swing the job of the person he's covering for at the moment. She's apparently not happy and may be leaving. Fingers crossed for him!
Andrea and I are back together again like we've never been apart. Two peas in a pod we are :) Going kayaking with her this weekend I think. Be nice to get out in the Daystar and drift down a river.
Good night all.
