The View From Kalamazoo
and the beat goes on
Work whine: We’re hitting deadline hell…9/15 deadline for General Sessions, 10/1 deadline for Special/Sponsored Session organizers (including me..and have I gotten everything together? uh, …..)…and my Program ad deadline is coming up soon…and let’s not even go NEAR the joy of budget hearing time, accounting havoc, and that ninth level of…
Paper, paper, paper..I’m all for a bonfire.
I need to clean my desk – I’ve lost my expanse of teak again.

On Wed., instead of trading upper body/lower body days as I had been doing, I started super setting, or circuit training, or whatever it’s called. I call it PAIN. In 35 minutes I did the following:
pecs: M 50 lb. 2/12
traps: M 50 lb. 2/10
upper back: C 50 lb. 2/12
biceps: D 15 2/12 doubles
triceps: D 10 lb. 2/12 singles
abs: M 110 lb. 2/20
inner thigh: M 70 lb. 2/15
outer thigh: M 90 lbs. 2/15
quads: P 90 lb. (per) 2/12
calves: P 90 lb. (per) 2/12
glutes: one-leg squats at bar 2/10 (each leg)
obliques: roman chair ‘crunch’ holding 10 lb. weight 2/12 (each side)
(M: Magnum machine; C: cable; D: dumbells; P: press; K: Keiser machine)
MY LEGS STILL HURT. (but weight was 267.5!)
So, today, I focused more on upper body, tried a new (better!) ab abuser.
pecs: M 50 lb. 2/12
delts: C 20 lb. 2/10 standing
traps: M 50 lb. 2/10
upper back: C 50 lb. 2/12
biceps: D 15 2/12 doubles
triceps: D 10 lb. 2/12 singles
abs: something the trainer I asked for help called the bi-angular machine. it worked more like an accordion crunch, but no leg action like the nautilus so it really targeted the upper abs ONLY. 25 2/12. I should have done crunches and worked more on lower abs, but ran out of time.
