I had a really good workout this morning!

E21 and I hung out as usual. It felt hard this morning. I was short on sleep and the gym felt especially warm. Bleh.

E21, random program, level 5
Stats: 327 cal, 3.02 mi, 35:00 min

I moved on to do upper body training and gave it a good shot. I did 2 sets of 12 reps each at maximum or close to maximum weight and I used some machines that I haven't used before and I used machines that duplicated and/or mimicked my usual circuit training machines so my major muscle groups got double the workout and I felt it by the end. Shaky!

There was a moment where I was doing the circuit training and a guy jumped on the machine that I was just about to hit so I moved on to the machine just past him. Then, when I was done and about to move back to that machine (the last of the circuit), another guy comes from outside and makes a beeline for THAT machine. REALLY??? I guess I sighed loud enough for him to hear because he looked at me and asked if I was going to use that machine. I admitted that I was and he said 'no problem' really easy and relaxed and went to work on another machine outside of the circuit training room so I finished quickly, sprayed it down and went to go get the gentleman and let him know that I was done and thank you. He was such a surprise!

Most guys in my gym are all grunts and self-involvement. Plus when I jumped on the elliptical, the shoe screecher guy from last year was DIRECTLY behind me. Thankfully, my music covered his incessant throat clearing and hacking.

I finished up with a smidge of ab work and a good 10-12 minutes of stretching, paying special attention to my arms, shoulders and back.
