I spent most of the day extremely pissed off because I was without a ride to the gym. Typically, when my mom goes to work, I go with because my gym is literally across the street from where she works. I had taken my now-typical preworkout power nap… and she left without me. It wasn’t a matter of fatigue, though. While I did sleep two hours past when I was supposed to be awake, I was ready to workout when I laid down. There was certainly no lack of motivation… just a lack of communication.
Anyway, she made up for it (kinda) by taking me to the gym an hour and a half before close.
This meant two things:
- I hadn’t eaten since roughly 7AM by the time I got to the gym. I don’t know how long I have to go without eating to become fasted (makes me want to re-read Eat Stop Eat, though) but it’s been at least 12 hours since my last meal. (Had I been there on time, this meal would have been just about three hours prior to workout.)
- I didn’t get to enjoy gratuitous amounts of rest between sets. In this whole workout, I essentially skipped rest for warm-ups (taking only time to change the weight or catch my breath) and only took a full 5 minutes of rest in preparation for deadlifts. I lingered a bit on the last warm-up and work set of pulldowns, just because I wasn’t in any danger of missing a lift due to closure. (Just gimme one more set, bro!) That also turned out to be, as expected, the hardest lift, and the only one I didn’t meet my rep goal for.
Workout B1 for Friday, May 27, 2010
Romanian Deadlift
- 60lbs x 5
- 90 x 3

Deadlift (overhand grip)

Lateral Raise Machine

Pulldown

Missed a rep. 16 minutes for this exercise. I zoned out before the third set. Wasn’t TIRED, just had trouble SEEING THINGS.
Nevertheless, I’m going to increase all lifts for next B1. I had no reason to miss that 8th rep and I was very close, but very close doesn’t count.
