Rocking the Body

[jchrisobrien]

Somehow, I'm more awake after five hours of sleep after seven. Ah, the mysteries of sleep cycles, and the body. Last night I also made it to the gym, and started my new lifting routine, for endurance.

One word: ow.

Perhaps I should scale the weights back a little, but daaaamn there was a nice burn during those exercises. Thanks for the advice Digitalcheshire, even if my body is complaining about it now. Quiet body, you'll be thanking me later.

In other news, painting during my lunch break is a lot more satisfying and less stressful that shooting people up in computer games. Especially considering my skill at First Person Shooters.

Same basic weight sets, but instead of doing 3 sets of 10-12, I'm doing 2 sets of 20.

I'm also adding more lower back exercises to go along with my abdominals.

Pheel the burn!

(I should probaly have more 3's in th3r3, but screw it!)

My hands are feeling a little better. I'm keeping a closer watch on my grip on the bench press (which is the biggest worry) and making sure I use bars with padding on them for pull downs and the like.
