Happy New Year... Fiscally Speaking

Today's adventures in sweat were delayed due to a managers meeting this AM which ran a bit over. The gym was a lot more crowded today i guess since i went later than usual. Part of the good thing about having a gym at work is that I get to go over lunch, you get to see your coworkers at times in a different light, which may help relating to them later. How can you be mean to the pudgy guy riding the bike? That guy is me...

Today started off as always with a brisk ten minute walk over to the gym, eventually i plan to jog there for a warm up but baby steps here. When i got to the gym i had to move what I was doing from legs to Arms and Chest, two very enthusiastic gentlemen were seeing who could grunt louder were using the leg equipment. I know who i would vote for, but i thought that stuff was reserved to the weight room not the machine area. Guess I'm wrong.

  • 20 Minutes on the Stationary Bike at level 12, Hill course. In spanish...
    • the bike was set to Spanish and i couldn't find the button to switch it back.  time to expand my horizons i guess. Thank god for pictographs and rudimentary high school Spanish
  • Tricep Press @ 50 lbs: 3 sets of 12 reps, 30 second break
  • Arm Curl  @ 40 lbs: 3 sets of 12 reps, 30 second break
    • up form 30 last week, had some issues on third set
  • Galileo Fly @ 50 lbs: 3 sets of 12 reps, 30 second break
    • up from 40lb last week, staying here for a bit, last week was easy this week not so much
  • Inclined chest press @ 30 lbs: 3 sets of 8
    • felt i needed a bit more of a chest / shoulder workout, rough going the whole way.
All in all good workout, the other fun thing about working out at work is every once in a while i see my wife at the gym. She is fit like you wouldn't believe. She went to the gym up until she was 8 months pregnant and is a beast on the elliptical machine. Good thing she doesn't judge.
