THE BREAKDOWN:

KILLING IT!

BB BENCH PRESS - Oh Boy!  A few more reps than last time.  I'm not saying it was easy but getting stronger bit by bit.  PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD!

CABLE FLY - A few more reps than last time.  Bit by Bit, Step by Step!  PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD

DB OH PRESS - Today's theme is a few more reps than last time!  

TRICEP ROPE PULLDOWN - Fatigue was setting in and time was running out.  Usually I superset this movement with FacePulls but the area around me was a bit busy so I just did the pulldowns.

OVERALL:

I felt great.  I wish I had more time.  I'm beginning to notice that on Tuesday's of all days after 4:30am the gym starts to get busy.  I'm glad for this locally owned gym but I like my space.  Having space is why I get up at 3:30am and I can't get up any earlier.  Hopefully the other day's dont get as busy.  Overall it was a GREAT WORKOUT!

 

SPIN / CYCLE / RIDE:

Nothing today as I scheduled an event at 8am and I need to stop to get some snacks and need to set up.  NOTE TO SELF: Don't schedule events at 8am!

 

SWIMMING:

We had thunderstorms yesterday after work.   Ugh.  No swimming!  I think the next two days we are forecast for thunderstorms in the afternoon/evening.  Plus I was beat as yesterday was non-stop all day at work.

 

RANDOM ACTS OF FITNESS:

Umm...we got the cycling club and pickleball.  I am hosting a fun hour of corn toss so I'm helping people MOVE THROUGH LIFE AND SPORT.
