Mid-Day Chest Workout + BBall Shootaround

Mid-Day Chest Workout + BBall Shootaround

Got in another lunchtime workout today, this time focusing on chest. I did lying dummbell press, lying machine assisted bench, flys, cable crossovers, and then finished with some squats for no particular reason. After the lifting session I shot hoops for about 10 minutes for a bit of cardio.

Mid-Day Shoulder Workout

Mid-Day Shoulder Workout

Made it to the gym at lunchtime today and got in a pretty nice shoulder workout. I did the usual shrugs, overhead dumbbell press, standing dumbbell raises, and machine assisted press.

800 Meters of Early Morning Swimming

800 Meters of Early Morning Swimming

Got to the gym early this morning because it seems to be about the only time you can find a free swimming lane at the Boston Sports Club in Waltham. Luckily there were a couple of lanes open, so I was able to get in and get started on my swimming workout. I reached my goal of going 200 meters today without having to stop. Also, I was able to do the flipturn quite a few times. The problem for me right now is that the flipturn still seems to expend too much energy, thus leaving my tired for the next 25-50 meters. Anyways, I ended up finishing the 800 meters worth of swimming, then chilled in the steamroom before showering and heading to work.

Bicep & Tricep Workout + Basketball Shootaround

Bicep & Tricep Workout + Basketball Shootaround

Got to the gym at lunchtime today in need of a good upper body workout. I decided to concentrate on biceps and triceps and ended up getting in a pretty solid workout. I started with sitting dumbbell curls, then did a few standing hammer curls, then did tricep rope pull downs, and bicep pulldowns. I finished off the workout doing bicep work on the cable crossover machine. Afterwards I shot the basketball around, but was pretty bad considering I had just lifted upperbody.
