I screwed up and forgot the push ups AGAIN yesterday.  Will have to do it tomorrow.  I tell you, if it’s not routine for me then it’s not remembered.

I was at the rec center for about two hours this evening.  Amazing.  When I finally showered, got dressed, and walked out of the locker room that’s when I saw some friends playing badminton.  I decided to join them for a game despite the fact that I was wearing street cloths at that point.

Hopefully they’ll forgive me for working up a sweat on a simple game like that, and realize that I was already quite tired from a lengthy exercise session.

At the end of tonight’s long session I decided to return to lifting (before the shower), but this was mostly out of curiosity.  Tonight was the first time that I lifted actual weights in the machines at the rec center rather than using the resistance machines (I’m a sucker for simplicity).

If I remember correctly, I lifted about 30 pounds on my biceps, about 130 or 160 pounds on my shoulder / back (I can’t remember which at the moment, but it surprised me that everything felt so light), and 190 pounds on the Hip Abduction and Hip Adductor (outer and inner thigh).  Laying leg press was at approximately 130 pounds, but I’m not sure because I left it at whatever it was set to when I got onto the machine.

Unfortunately I don’t remember the weight amounts on the others, but in all I was fairly pleased with what I was able to do.  In so far as strength training is concerned I’ve been doing resistance training exclusively for the past two semesters, so I’m impressed with the results.

Granted, the bicep amount of 30 lbs was quite light, but I’ll hopefully be improving those through push ups – assuming that I can remember to do the confounded things.

I’m wonderfully tired this evening.

Good night folks!
