Life is not a race.
Resist the temptation to compare your progress
or achievements with those of others. You have to trust the timing of your life and embrace the journey.
Every step forward brings you closer to your goal.
Today's Training:
Run: Fartlek 3 miles
Cycle: Commute
Machine Row: I used a "Selectorized" machine bench press but stood up on the bench, turned around, and got into a solid rowing position. As this was a new way to do bent-over rows, I had a few warm-up sets. Once I found a hard 12-rep weight, I did THREE more sets of the 12.
Single Arm Supinated Lat Pulldown: 4x8 Went a bit heavier than the last time
Neutral Grip Chin-ups: 3x Failure. Now check this out! Don't go down all the way. Yep, from the chin over the bar position, come about 1/2 way down. Now get this, my wife banged out 20 reps on her first set. Even a couple of fat fucks hoisted themselves up for 14 and 16 reps. The following two sets need to be around that first set's numbers.
Shrugs: 3x12. Like last time squeeze the crap out of the contraction to a four-count pause.
Cycle: Gotta get back home!
