I am humbled!
Oct. 3rd, 2006 01:57 pmWent to the gym today and discovered that I'm not nearly as strong as I thought. On Friday when I went, I was with a small cross-section of my office and discovered I was in better shape than most of them. Today, I went with a different cross section and watched this fellow who's probably not nearly as tall or wide as I am lift three times my capacity.
That said, I had a great workout, beat my arms and shoulders and abs to death, and paid close attention to the muscles in my lower back, the ones I used when picking up my kids. Both of them still want to be carried from time to time, even though they're six and nine. I am getting stronger, but I fear the six-week crash. Also, toward the end of October I'll be taking a week off. I should probably buy a used bench before then; I have a weight set already.
