More Liftin'...

Today I hit the weight for chest, triceps, and legs. It was a fairly uneventful workout, aside from the fact I am starting to get a fair amount of strength back in my chest -- for the second week in a row I put up 205 lbs. five times on the flat bench, and even managed to do two reps of 225. On both sets I actually felt like I could have done one more rep, but did not want to press my luck (I rarely use a spotter, which is dumb I know). This week has been pretty textbook from a training perspective -- two runs and two weight sessions so far. I will try and hit the gym tomorrow for another short run, and weather permitting, may actually try to ride on Saturday morning...

Liftin'

I finished off another workout week by lifting weights (chest and triceps) at the gym today. I did heavy weights on the flat bench for the first time in three weeks, which went pretty well -- I was able to put up 205 lbs. six times without straining too much, and put up 225 lbs. twice (although the second rep was a struggle). Earlier this week I rode the bike for 40 minutes one day, ran on the treadmill for 30 minutes another, and did back and biceps on another day. I also went snowboarding on Sunday, which technically does not count as a workout, but in February I will take what I can get...
