Chest Bump....

Lifted chest at lunch time. After stretching I did 3 sets of dumbbell chest press at reps of 35-40-45. Then I did 50-55-60 on the seated chest press machine. Then I did 150 crunches. Then 50-55-62.5 on the seated fly machine. Then 70-80-90 on the iso-lateral chest press machine. I finished the day with 110-120-130 on bench press. On all of my exercises my 3 sets were pretty much 15-10-8. Got back to work and drank a protein shake so hopefully my muscles will recover more quickly than last week. Good day, hope I'm not too sore tomorrow.
Early 5 Mile Run in 37:18

With an expected high of 52 degrees today, I figured it would be a good day to get in an early morning run. I arrived at Fresh Pond at 7am, and ran 2 easy laps around the 2.5 mile loop. I ran the first in 18:22 and the second in 18:48. I had my trust iPOD NANO with me, which helped the run go by faster. Only issue was my fingers! They almost fell off from the cold temps. Hitting the gym at lunch time to lift chest.

Biceps & Triceps

I had a great workout during lunch today. I hit the gym for 45 minutes, did standing curls (both arms) 25-30-35, then did sitting curls, 30-25-20, then 100 crunches on an incline bench, then nosebreakers each set finishing with benching the bar 10 times, 40-50-60lbs, then pull down curls 20-30-35 with both arms, then cable pull-down tri's, 30-40-50, then "sevens" meaning 21 reps using the long cable bicep bar, doing 7 reps at 3 different grips at 30-45-60, then finished with free weight, long bar (40lb bar) curls with a 5 on each side, making it 50 lb curls. Did 10, 8, and 6 reps respectively. Good lifting day, now I need some protein!
