When last I left these pages, I was griping about energy and motivation. I said I hoped that the gym would perk me up and...
...it DID!
I'm going to present the workout in a different format today, to see how that works for me. I'll be recording total volume for the workout as I list the sets. Here are some notes on volume as a concept...note that I am not at that level yet ;>. The point is this, as it is in any other view of strength training...KEEP LIFTING MORE

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Not quite the image I was looking for, but it lead to this(Why Your Lazy Ass is Making You Depressed) interesting article...
1- I like this format; I will try to remember to do it this way again
2- There is the issue of distance in moving the weight. The shoulder shrugs are shrugs for example. Everytime i lift my fat ass out of the chair and go grab another donut, I am working out ROFL.
However, for the purposes of tracking workouts, i think this approach will work
3- Today was heavy on leg work, so days like this will be skewed towards higher totals.
4- The "i" on this keyboard is pissing me off, it won't record the SHIFT towards capitalization, and yet it creeps into almost every other word I type ;>
