Did some new movements. Dumb Bell Press (shoulders to above your head...20lbs each hand for me). Push press (I think?) where you give yourself a little jump. Then Jerk press, where you sort of jump downward and extend your arms above your head real fast (again 20lbs).
So the workout went like this (if I can remember):
20 Shoulder Presses
20 Squats
10 Pullups
20 Push presses
20 Squats
10 Pullups
20 Jerks
20 Squats
10 Pullups
Uggggg. I had to modify the last 15 of my pullups to basically jumps about an 8 foot bar (i'm 6'3"...this was not hard). And I also switched to 15lb weights from 20 about half way through.
Sort of sucks to have to downgrade but I never would have finished otherwise. Took me 10:17 total.
Feel decent. Had to bike home since my piece of shit car's battery was dead this morning (again). It's on the charger now.
This week is definitely upper body. I think it's making me mad. My shoulders/neck/back are all tight. Now I just wanna punch someone in the head..rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...maybe I'll do a headbutt like Kano from Mortal Kombat. It's either the tension in my neck etc or it's the insane amount of meat I've been eating. I ate a pound of ground beef yesterday. I'm shooting for another pound today. Today's meal is much better. Beef, portobellas, zuchini, salt, olive oil, spinach. mmmmm. Actually..I have to get back to force feeding myself. Until next time.
