Notes:
--I've had to consciously adjust my upper-body posture today (mostly drawing my shoulders back and rotating them outward). The SMR and stretching seemed to help a bit, but I think I'll take RL's suggestion of swapping the rows and bench presses next time I do Workout B. Imbalance issues aside, though, it seems that it's time to start working on my push-ups.
--For the second night in a row, I got 10-11 hours of sleep. I'm not sick anymore, but I guess I just needed the rest, and it's looking like I'll be able to continue this setup for the rest of the week. Good stuff.
--No word yet on the personal trainer gig, but then, I probably need to just go corner a manager face-to-face and ask. I'm sure they get a ton of emails "expressing interest in becoming a personal trainer." In that vein, I figure I need to go ahead and work on a certification on my own and am now debating between a CSCS (any point in starting before the June release of the new textbook?) or an NSCA-CPT (more geared toward what I'd be doing starting out). CSCS is a lot to study for, and I have no exercise background beyond my own casual research; CPT seems a little more feasible and practical sooner, and I could use that to build toward a CSCS down the road. Decisions, decisions...
