Jan 14 Workout

Looks like I ran out of things to write about here, so I am at least going to track my weekly exercise progress (or decline). I lost all record of my workouts last year when my PDA erased everything, for no apparent reason around mid-December.

If these numbers seem a little weak, remember, I am just coming off a three week flu thing, where I didn't do anything but eat warm soup and shuffle around in my bathrobe between naps and barf sessions.

Here was today's routine at Gold's:

(1:30 second pause between sets)

Incline Bench Press: 135x14, 185x6, 175x6, 165x7, 155x9
Dumbbell Rows: 45sx12, 55sx11,11,11,10
Chest Flys (Body Masters machine): 110x14, 120x12, 130x8, 110x10
Power Squats (Body Masters-Facing Inward) 180x12, 270x14, 360x13,13,13
Side Bend Dumbbell Shrugs: 75x14,14
