Workout 10/3/2007

Today I worked out at the 24-Hour Fitness near my home, in Pacific Beach. This location is pretty shabby, and the equipment is all older. I guess that makes sense as I usually go to a brand new location. Anyhow, I also forgot to do a couple exercises, and I was slow getting moving becuse there was no hurry. I should have been more eager, though, it's definitely a constant struggle to stay motivated, even with the gains I have made.

Today was lower body day:

• Warmup on recumbent bike, 7 minutes
• Leg Presses (hamstrings/glutes/quads) at 240/240/240
• Hip Abductors, 130/130/130
• Hip Adductors, 130/130/130
• Quads, 120/120/120
• Hamstrings, 105/105/105
• Tricep Pushdowns, 70/70/70, this was much better today, I must be fatiguing them earlier in the upper-body workout, since I do them at the end.
• Cable Seated Row, 105/105/105
• Recumbent Bike, 11 minutes, plus a minute on the cooldown cycle

I wanted to do Triceps to see if, as it was suggested, I was fatiguing the muscles early in the workout. I wanted to do the rows because I felt some muscle tension up in the upper back and I wanted to try and pull through it.

Their calf machine is a standing one where you push up on the weights, and that hurt my shoulders too much, so I didn't do more than a couple, and just did three sets of standing toe rises.

We'll see if I get a chance to work out while I am on vacation.
