I damn near forgot what I did on the 12th.

I think I did 21-22 minutes of elliptical and some hammer strength incline press work. Place was getting kind of crowded so I didn't do more.

Opted to take Thursday off and enjoy some sushi with Karla. It's weird to be somewhat attracted to a woman 16 years older but she's still looks good and is keeping it together.

Went back to the gym today and thankfully Ed's back off his vacation. I always feel like I have a better workout with Ed around. He had a client so he could help me out but I did some back work until I felt something tweak.

First circuit (All 15 - 12 - 10 with weights moving up)

Lat Pulldowns
Bent Over Barbell Row
Shoulder Shrugs

Second circuit

Sit down Row
Close-grip Lat Pulldowns
Cable Pullovers

I struggled with the form on the pullovers and in my second cycle through the weights I felt something tweak. I don't fuck with back pain so I stopped.

Saturday should be a big deal. I have 12-15 exercises on the docket. Mostly chest and arms stuff.

On Tuesday, I was happy/sad to see my cousin leave. Happy because I need to get my shit straight and get back to eating better and working out more. The all-you-can-eat NY Strip at Texas Cattle Company on Monday wasn't my smartest idea.

Sad because he's my cousin and one of my best friends. I'm glad I get to see him each year and it's good to be close to family.

But anyway, I knew I needed to ease back into my workouts with a push/pull cardio day so I did the following

6 min elliptical + 250 meters rowing x 2
6 min elliptical + 400 meters rowing.

Probably should have grinded through to get 500 meters.

After that I did two sets of shoulder shrugs with 50-lb dumbbells and two sets of shoulder front raises with the barbell (45 pounds). Probably should have done some rear delts too.
