Big workout today! Besides being halfway to the One Month Party (w00t), it was changeup day: 1 set of 15 reps each at +15 lbs (or as close to that as I could arrange). It definitely went faster and left me more wiped out by the end, but it also helped me get a feel for where some of my weak areas are.

Lower Back: 1 set 15 reps @ 75 lbs (medium)
Arm Extensions: 1 set 15 reps @ 95 lbs (medium)
Upper Back: 1 set 15 reps @ 85 lbs (tough)
Vertical Traction: 1 set 15 reps @ 115 lbs (tough)
Shoulder Press: 1 set 15 reps @ 50 lbs (tough)
Chest Press: 1 set 15 reps @ 70 lbs (medium)
Cable Cross: 1 set 15 reps @ 60 lbs (medium? really?)
Squat Lift: 1 set 15 reps @ 50 lbs (medium/tough, not as hard as I expected but left me winded)
Arm Curls: 1 set 15 reps @ 45 lbs (tough-- I almost couldn't finish)
Leg Press: 1 set 15 reps @ 160 lbs (tough, which surprised me)
Ab Crunch: 1 set 15 reps @ 80 lbs (medium-- crunches just don't bother me)
Weight: 326 lbs

I wish I felt like I could trust Zippy the Wonder Scale. Today's reading suggests that I've lost 5 pounds since starting, which would not be an unreasonable result... except that Friday morning it said I'd lost 9, which I frankly don't believe. So I'll keep watching the aggregate and see what the doctor's scale says in August.

And now, on to my day! I need to buy a suit today, as I'm going to a wedding in two weeks and don't really have any appropriate garb. (An outdoor wedding. In August. Do you just hate me, wedding couple? Did you plan this all as part of some elaborate vendetta I know nothing of? It's the only explanation that makes sense.)

Also ordering my drawing table and hoping to get some commish work done. Gonna be a busy day! I'd better hit the shower.

Mine at my gym seems to be a cousin of Zippy's. Everywhere else I am 5 lbs heavier, but Whippy's got me under 180.

(Just now I learned that there are very few things you can start a word with and end it in ppy that don't already have a meaning.)
