Nothing too exciting or impressive, but even so, it may have been too much. I felt like I was going to throw up after the squats. I don’t care about the macho bullshit about “Visiting Mr. Bucket” when working out. That’s just taking it too far for general fitness.<\/p>\n

The gym was nice today, though. Everyone was serious. A trainer was teaching one of his clients to do free squats. She was eyeing the leg press and he gently guided her away from it. I was surprised. *I* got taken to the Smith machine (HAWK! PTOOI!) at my <\/strong>intro lesson!<\/p>\n

Moodwise, I feel so much better it’s hard to describe.\u00a0 Oh, I’m tired and even have a bit of a headache.\u00a0 I just think lifting heavy stuff makes me feel calmer, more confident, happier and more relaxed.\u00a0 I’m sure there’s a physiological reason for it.\u00a0 I’m glad it happens, too!<\/p>\n

I’m looking at my workout and wondering how long it’s going to take before I’m working out with 100lbs on the squats.\u00a0 That’s an interim goal for me right now.\u00a0 If I had a spotter, I’d try for a 1RM and see if I can<\/em> squat 100 (which I probably can), just to say I can do it.<\/p>\n

Actually, I’m looking forward to the time when I’m benching 100 regularly, but I’m a good 6-8 months away from that at the moment.<\/p>\n

I’m also looking at my workout and thinking I need to add a couple of upper body and a couple of lower body exercises next week.\u00a0 I’d like to this week, but if I feel like throwing up after squats, then I need to build back up slowly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
