Only Warm

This workout was pretty pathetic. My diet has been off since Christmas (though some minor fasting efforts have been made, it’s a losing battle) what with the enormous amount of “Eric, actually doing shit other than lifting.”

I probably wouldn’t be losing any apparent strength at all if I had a more voluminous workload. Stalling may occur, sure, but since it’d be less weight…

…I probably wouldn’t EVER feel good about myself. So, whatever. One bad day, two bad weeks, three weeks until I need to be pretty for an audition.

Workout for Tuesday, January 4, 2011

Deadlift

1. 135lbs. x 3 ~ double-overhand
2. 170 x 3 ~ d-o
3. 240 x 1 ~ left-under; felt fucking HEAVY and my form was falling apart already
4. 285 x miss ~ left-over; got maybe an inch off the floor
5. 280 x miss ~ l-u; considered making this a warm-up only day, lifted too much with my back/not enough leg recruitment.

Another thing: I wish I’d not eaten pre-workout. I had four BBQ chicken thighs maybe four hours prior, with some beans. Was definitely feeling it sloshing around/compacting with the lifting effort. Hard to concentrate when I think I might shit my pants. I just get so excited.

Incline Bench

1. 45lbs. x 5
2. 45 x 5
3. 50 x 5 (oops, phone call!)
4. 70 x 3
5. 90 x 2

I got under the workset of 105 and I barely budged it up off the hooks. I didn’t bother pulling it free. Warm-only today. Sad!

Pulldown

1. 75lbs. x 5 (did two extra reps because I wasn’t really “saving” anything for a workset)
2. 95 x 5 (three extra, same story)

Lateral Raise

1. 45lbs. x 5
2. 60 x 5 (two extra)

Body Weight: 172.5lbs (didn’t bother testing bodyfat, wasn’t fasted, too much food besides that still processing)

START: 9:55AM
STOP: 11:04AM
