Ok so coming out of the holidays with full intentions of getting my Ahhh-Nold on is hitting some speed bumps. Dan and I went to the gym for a chest and tricep workout and instead of taking it easy I decided to try to kill it. Flat bench felt good with a final set of 265lbs for 6 reps. From there we moved to incline dumbells and I felt strong at 80lbs so I decided to jump to 90lbs and pretty much blew it on that. Noted to self...progressive increase is a must. We then went to flat bench wide chest and these felt great with a good range of motion through out the exercise. Chest done, onto triceps. Feeling strong I proceeded to blow my arms out by strapping to 45lbs to my waist and jumped on the dip machine. Man when triceps go they really go...The final couple exercises were good control with slow movements.
Tuesday, Dan decided we needed to run for the day as we preparing for our Warrior Dash coming up at the end of this month. Well off to the trail we go and good Lord this age thing sucks because my body enjoyed the hell out of that run and by enjoy I mean fingernails down a chalk board kind of joy! I was good until the turn around and I began to cramp up. This slowed me to a walk for a few minutes but I still finished with a time of 28m9secs for 3.16 miles. Dan killed it as he usually does when it comes to runs. Looking forward to the Warriors Dash and if any of you are local or if the race is coming to you, I encourage you to try it. Do something different right out of the gate the year!
