Let's preface this by saying this has been/will continue to be an amazing day. More on that later.
Upper Body Max Strength
A) 45 Degree Incline Press 1x1 @ 135; 2x3 @ 115, 120; 1x1 @ 120
This was the only eh spot of the day. Don't like these at all. Yes, the weights were humbling, but it just felt awkward and cracking shoulders don't bode well. I'm done with these. I'm supposed to do them next week, but I'll just go right to 2 board presses (which are supposed to start week 3) next week.
B1) Neutral Grip DB Bench Press 3x8 @ 45
Easy. I could have gone up in weight, but instead focused on moving this weight as fast as possible. Worked at a pretty decent clip.
B2) One Arm DB Row 4x8 @ 65
Damn. These fried me. But it feels good
C1) Inverted Rows 3 x 8, 6, 6
Was shooting for 3x8, but the second and third sets I just couldn't finish off the last 2 reps. Did partials the last two reps, but didn't count them toward the total.
C2) Supine One Arm DB Protraction 3x15 @ 25
Awesome workout. The Incline Presses weren't good, but I got them done, and learned what I won't be doing anymore. They really felt awkward and my shoulders didn't like them at all. No more of those.
On the topic of an awesome day. Dad woke me up this morning at 5:45: "No school, turn off your alarms." Sweet. Snow days =
Woke up again around 7:30, made a nice breakfast. Got a LOT of chores done around the house that I NEEDED to do, aka clean my room, which was covered in clothes and papers and books and everything, get my laundry done, and even washed the dishes! (OK, the dishwasher did the actual washing, but I unloaded the thing!
) Checked the status of 2 of my online orders and found out both come in today. Sweet. Got a new LED light for the inside of my car. With the sunroof, the light is set way toward the back and isn't bright at all. Also, 3 Bela Fleck and The Flecktones CDs arrive today. So, I can listen to my new music as I install the light. Works for me.
What would make this day even better is a call tonight saying school is canceled tomorrow. That way, Doug M. (yes, he's still alive) and I can go riding around in his truck, shoveling out people and earning some nice cash. If I get tomorrow off. I'll have a 4 day weekend. Plus, Monday is a half day because of teacher conferences. Tuesday and Wednesday are a joke because its the last two full days before Christmas break. Thursday is a half day with a Mass (read: no work) So, my Christmas break will have essentially started today
