Could I Have Made It?: Season 2

Today's Notes:

Even though I skipped a day, I went ahead and took yesterday off. Because I needed it.

Hopefully I won't get punished again, but I shouldn't, since it's my regular day off.

Today's workout was about 2 hours.

HOW I FEEL:

We trimmed out the drills today because Roy had to leave.

I should punish him the way he punished me for slacking... Only, I didn't mind. At all.

You know what sucks? I haven't done chest or triceps in a week. I'm not used to that. It's a strange thing that, in weightlifting, you get to a point where you prefer - even love - certain exercises. With me, chest and triceps have always been the "goto" workout. When I'd take a month or 3 months or... like... 5 years off from the gym, I'd always start back with chest and triceps.

But I'm definitely noticing the gains in the legs and back. It's been 8 months of steady gain, and I'm lifting weights I never imagined I'd ever be able to lift in dead lift, power clean, and whatnot. When I was hitting the sled a while back, I could see definite improvement in moving it, but I wonder what it's like now.

I think that's why Roy's backing off of them. I'm pretty straight in that arena, I need work elsewhere.
