I went to the gym yesterday for the first time in over a week, because I had gotten a cold from my brother which completely shut me down. After getting warmed up, I started with the bench press and row machine, doing 3 sets of ten reps at 105 pounds on the bench press. Then 3 sets of row machine at 45, then 65 pounds, mixing in sets of 5 pull-ups. Moving to biceps, I did 10 reps at 55 pounds on bar curls. With triceps I did pull-downs at 80, 85, 90, and 95 pounds all at least 10 reps, nice and smooth. As all this was going on I would mix in sets of 20 exercise ball crunches and oblique crunches. After finishing my upper body with forearm twists and push-ups, I moved over to do my core work. 3 sets of, in order, 20 exercise ball crunches, 1 minute 30 second planks, 20 Romanian twists, 12 leg raised crunches, 12 up and twist crunches, and 20 oblique crunches. All this lasted an hour-and-a-half at which point I went home and had my protein shake.
Just a normal upper-body day for me in a long, 5 month stretch of winter. Now onto lower-body for today.
Luke, you did a great job of writing this. You're conveying rather bland, repetitious information, but you've changed up the structure of sentences, your commas are well placed, and overall, it was interesting to read.
