Odds and ends day. Spent long portions of my day reading and doing laundry. Shopped for some vegetables, and a mother's day gift. Got to talk to Jason for a while.
Got my exercises out of the way in a timely fashion, and realized that it's much easier to count jump ropes when not listening to music, that i shouldn't get into conversations with the nightlife of the house while i'm exercising, but... it's hard to not become a captive audience.
Jump ropes are back to normal. Planks went alright, i like it more than most exercises actually. But, the third set was tough of course. Pull-ups are still my challenge. After the first set and a half, its like doing isometrics. Pull, breath, nothing. Then hop a little, pull, breath, and basically stay in one place the entire time. It's getting better, but i never expected to get to muscle failure so fast on an exercise.
As for my indulgence, i'm not sure what i'm going to eat yet, but i know exactly what i want. Ice cream. And not because i'm hurting for it, but i that's just what sounds good. Any form will do, as long as it's good quality, but i specifically want green tea ice cream on black rice. The kind you can usually get at a Thai restaurant. Now i have to see if i can find it in Sacramento.
Well, that's all for today.
Oh, and Happy Birthday Jason.

Totally with you on the pull-ups. The last set is basically: hang, pull...and still hanging. I have found that if I frantically kick my legs and stretch my neck I can pretend that counts as one...but even doing that 7 times in a row is damn tiring!
ReplyDeleteI love green tea ice cream!
ReplyDeleteI can only do one pull up. The rest I switch to incline.
Nice work dude.
ReplyDeleteI tried not playing music as you mentioned and WOW - much better all sets were over 250. sweet.
ReplyDeletePer the pull ups - when I am out of gas I try and jump up and then do a negative on the way down
