weight of the world

Was it Atlas who was supporting a world on his shoulders?  Well, that's what I will be feeling like today.  Yesterday's workout was pretty dang good.  I started performing intervals for my cardio, which kicked my butt by 30 minutes.

The farmers walk was a tough one, walked roughly the length of the football field with a 60 lb dumbbell in each hand and performing a shrug as I walked only stopping when I needed to.  I bet most of the people in the gym had no idea what I was doing and I wonder if I was getting any odd looks.

I can honestly say out of the 8+ years I've been going to that gym, there aren't too many people who I've seen make progress, whether it's losing weight, getting stronger, etc.  Do they go to the gym because they like to?  they have to?  they thing they should because other people do it?  What's their motivation. I myself want to go in there, not waste time, not talk on my cellphone (those are the asshat who don't even try), and when done, have something to show for it.

Today's workout, uggg, is going to be another grueling one, but alas, I should not swap out exercises, even though I pulled yet another shoulder exercise.  If I do substitute, I will swap out pushups for 2 arm dumbbell presses.

WoD 2010/01/26:

• 2 arm dumbbell military press (may substitute push ups)
• pull ups (50 reps)
• Dead lifts for reps.

 Like always, I will perform all exercises in a superset fashion, and keep going on all of them until I complete my 50 reps for pull ups.  This is going to be challenging.
