The Marathon Project

Workout 10-19-10

Last night I went to the gym between the end of work and the start of soccer practice. 

I only had 20 minutes, but I knew in advance which exercises I wanted to do. Since I worked out the legs extensively on Monday, on Tuesday night I wanted to quickly blast my arms with a few quick but hard reps.

First I alternated assisted dips with assisted pullups. With the machine assisting 60 lbs of weight, I did three sets of each - 12 reps for the dips and 10 reps for the pullups.

Next I alternated DB shoulder presses with DB shrugs. For both exercises I used 15 lb dumbbells, and did 3 x 10.

Finally I did three sets of DB kickbacks, alternating right and left arms, executing 3 sets of 12 reps for each, and finished the night with three quick sets of DB wrist curls on each side, still using the 15 lb weights, and doing 15 reps per set.

I finished just in time to rush over to the soccer field, where I parked my car and subsequently saw three consecutive flashes of lightning. 

We waited in our cars for about thirty minutes, but continued to see lightning, so we cancelled practice and went home.

Today I will be off from lifting. My body is sore all over, and could use an off day to recuperate. Also, I have a concert to attend tonight, so it all works out.
