Another day in paradise......today I had my monthly massage session at 1:30 and then headed to the gym. It was a rainy day so I did a spin workout instead of riding outside.....gym memberships make one soft and are counter to rule #5 and rule #9. That being said I lifted following my spinning workout to make sure that I had the requisite amount of suffering today. I am doing a minimum of 2 strength workouts each week but last week I got in 3 and I hope to do the same this week. I have 9 exercises that I break down into groups of threes and I do three sets of each. Almost all the exercises consist of 12 reps. Six of the exercises are legs......pistol squat on a bench, bulgarian split squat, dead lift on a smith machine, single leg dead lift using a bench for the non supporting leg, single leg leg press, and single leg toe raises. I also do three upper body exercises, push-ups with a side plank, bent pull overs and assisted pull ups. I am now using 2-15# kettle bells for the split squat and dead lift and squatting 150#. On the leg press machine I am using 110# and 35# of assist on the pull ups.
Tomorrow I am meeting Kujo and Keith for a ride at 2:30 and then meeting Harold, Mike and Bob for dinner. Hope that Kujo and Keith do not put the hammer down on the ride.
