Day 50

Strength training today: I had a terrible day.  Couldn't get under my squats and kept lowering the weight, kept using my back for deadlifts, low weights with everything.  Then I went to play basketball and shot around for a bit, bricked everything.  Then I walked past my car in the parking lot and couldn't figure out how to post on facebook.  I must be tired.  What a crappy day 50.

Day 21

No official gym today.  I spent the day doing yardwork and remodeling and I was exhausted from it so I figured it was good enough.  Cleaned out the whole garage and finished up painting the new closet.  no picture, since my painting clothes are disgusting.

Day 20

Dragged myself to the gym on a saturday and went for the most efficient (read: quickest) workout possible.  aka the versa climber.  I also wanted to try to lower my pullup assist weight so my trainer Cory suggested I drop the assist weight and do sets of 6, with 2 in a row, then 10 seconds, then 2 and so on.  Apparently I've been lazy - I've been doing pullups with 60# assist.  I got down to 36 easily for 2 in a row and honestly I probably could have done 6.  So now I'll try even lower next time.

Circuit 1: (6x)
-2 minute Versa Climber Sprint
-6 pullups: 2 then 10 seconds and so on (54#, 48#, 42#, 36#, 36#, 36#)

The important info:

BBall shorts (in case anyone was there to play) and heathered royalty luxtreme CRB.
