Saw Invictus last night; been feeling pretty motivated overall.

Not that it helped the fact that I lost some muscle over the holidays. Evening workout on the wrong day didn’t really help matters, either.

And I was called back for an interview with p.i.n.k tomorrow. Go figure right?

Onto the numbers:

Weight: 156lbs.
BF%: 18.8%

No excuses today. Just going to take it for what it is. I’ve got roughly six pounds of fat I want to lose before the easy part of the diet is over.

Flat Bench

  1. 45lbs. x 5
  2. 50lbs. x 5
  3. 70lbs. x 3
  4. 100lbs. x 1
  5. 95lbs. x 3
  6. 100lbs. x 1

I had to sneeze; still didn’t get my reps though.

Incline Bench

  1. 85lbs. x 4 (seat was too high, did the set anyway)
  2. 75lbs. x 5 (three holes = good)

Skipped incline fly today. Had some upper-depletion work I wanted to get in, and I wasn’t budging the 25 DBs tonight.

Round 1

  1. Row: 10 & 2 @ 55lbs., 15 @ 40lbs.
  2. DB Curl: 2 x 15 @ 5lbs.
  3. Cable Extension: 15 & 11 @ 7.5lbs.
  4. Lateral Raise: 3 x 15 @ 5lbs.
  5. Crunch Machine: 3 x 15 @ 40lbs.

Round 2

  1. Row: 3 x15 @ 40lbs.
  2. Crunch Machine: 1 x 15 @ 40lbs.

Cut short because mom was picking me up; she was visiting my cousin who had flown in from Cali to celebrate the holidays. I’ll see her this summer. Can’t be missing workouts!

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
