New Toys at the Gym
The trainers have been busy the past few days, making new toys to torture us with. They stuffed a bunch of army canvas with wood chips to make an uneven heavy sack. Today we had to use them in a workout.
First, though, we had a strength workout. Three sets of 15 shoulder presses. I did 35# and that was pretty easy, so I stepped up to 67#. This was a bit too aggressive. I did 10 reps and this was all I could do. After a bit of a rest, I did 5 more reps with this weight, then stepped down to 50# for a final 15 reps.
