The just damn exhausted version

Today

  • Pre-Workout Warmup
    Bike 5 min
    start/end/max heart rate 114/128/141

  • Deadlifts
    125 @ 8
    135 @ 8
    135 @ 10
    I was told by my trainer that the reason they are called dead lifts is because they kill you..I was certainly dead by the end of this workout

  • Seated Plate Calf Raise
    90 @ 10
    90 @ 11
    90 @ (11)
    () represents a set where I had to stop and take a break to finish; (()) would mean I needed two breaks

  • Bench Press
    65 @ 8
    75 @ 8
    85 @ (10)
    started with just the bar; haven't done this in a long time. I hadn't lost as much as I thought I would OR the chest work I've been doing has been effective

  • Pullup machine
    150 @ 8
    140 @ 6
    140 @ (6)
    was completely winded at this point

  • Preacher Curl
    30 @ ((8))
    30 @ 6
    30 @ ((8))
    I am making NO progress on biceps; I remember it took me a loooong time last year to break the bicep plateau as well

  • Cable triceps pulldown
    37.5 @ 8
    37.5 @ (10)
    37.5 @ ((9))

  • Knee-ups
    16
    ((17))
    ((((16))))
    yes, it took me FOUR tries to do 16 on last set

  • Post-workout cooldown
    Bike 5 min
    start/end/max heart rate 141/136/147

Notes

  • weight 225
  • I missed one exercise today, seated shrugs. There was a group on the machine,I was winded as hell, and couldn't think of a shoulder exercise to replace it (even tho I had my logbook on me ROFL)
  • I had planned on some HIT work to finish out the session, but I was done with a capital D, so did bike cardio to end it.
  • Although I am completely exhausted right now, I don't consider this a great session; it just feels to me like I didn't put in 100%.
