Almost Died a very funny death
Yeah so this is going to end up being a recurringtheme I can tell. Ways in which i mess up whilst working out. Otherwise normal workout. I find thaty by writing my progress down i'm less tempted to cheat and less tempted to bump the weight / reps more than needed. SO far nothing more then minimal soreness the day after every once in a while. Which i can usuaully trace to bad form on the machine or doing something stupid the day before. Which is a very good sign I'm starting just slow enough, but I'm tired afterwards which means i'm doing it right i guess.
Today as always started with the 10 minute walk to the Gym
- 15 minutes on the treadmill, 5min warm up at 3.5mph, 3 min at 6 mph, 2 min at 3.5 mph, 1.5 min at 7.5 mph 5.5 min cooldown
- Leg Press 3 sets of 12 reps @ 100 lbs
- Leg Extension 3 sets of 12 reps @ 70 lbs
- Leg Curls 3 sets of 12 @ 70 lbs
- Calf raises 3 sets of 12 hoisting my fat ass
Cooldown back to office
How did i almost kill myself? Well after i started the first run on the treadmill my wildly swinging arm clipped my headphones, which pulled my ipod off the console onto the treadmill, i then hopped skipped and jumped around until i was thrown off the back. Very close to landing in an MXC style face-plant at least once. Much to the enjoyment of the two ladies running next to me. i then put my tail between my legs and the ipod back on the console and resumed running controlling my otherwise wildly swinging arms...
