So, Last Night...

I did a massive scripting session that got me through January -- and with a couple of exceptions, it's all Tiffany and Leonard, kenya believe it? There's definitely some "go back to the strip's roots"-ness going on in it, which is a good thing. Of course, that makes it talky again, but oh well. ;)

I also got back to where I was and covered some new ground in Jade Empire -- meeting the fox spirit was very cool. :) Next, it's off to battle a demon named "Mother" who creates degenerate cannibals. How very Freudian. ;P I finally acquired the Storm Dragon style, which is much easier to create harmonic combos with -- and since Storm Dragon combos end up leaving a Focus power-up behind, you can pretty much do the whole fight in Focus mode if you just do combo after combo. Munchkiney, but effective. ;) But I still kinda prefer Dire Flame, just 'cause I'm used to it.

Tonight, is Finish Badges Night! Plus the regular Tuesday workout. But now, alas, it's off to work!

Tuesday Workout Report (Bond, James Bond Edition)

I hope you folks aren't getting sick of reading these, 'cause they're not going away. ;) Even if bauske doesn't post any, I'm still keeping up my side of the bargain. ;P So anyway...

The first two-thirds of the workout I spent watching lythandra doing DDR while I did the Bowflex; the rest was spent with the tail end of You Only Live Twice and the opening credits of Goldfinger on AMC.

( Before you kill me, Mister Bowflex... )

The good news is, I found the extensions to properly do the Military Press. The bad news is, I'm not sure how well I'm liking this new workout. There's a lot more cable-shifting and bench-adjusting, which interrupts the flow and is just plain a nuisance. Also, with the seemingly-random exception of the Military Press, there's only one set of anything, which leaves me feeling like I haven't done anything at the end. Unless I have the weight set really high, it usually isn't until the middle of the second set of any exercise that I start to get to the muscle failure stage.

I'll probably stick with this one for the time being, but rearrange the exercises a bit next week so that at the very least more of the exercises using the T-bar are together, since that's the most cumbersome part to change. I can probably shave a good 3-5 minutes off the workout by only shifting to and from the T-bar once, instead of shifting to it, back from it for another exercise, then back to it again.

Any comments re: this setup, you other athletic (or would-be athletic) types out there?
