Our Physical Fitness

Thursday night I failed to go in- got a buyer for my couch which was in storage since the move who wanted to meet right during what would have been gym time, then a friend of mine who works in a kitchen had a rare night off, so we went out and got excellent food and a couple of drinks.

I did have Friday off though, so I went in the morning before my other plans.
  • Smith inclined barbell bench 102.5x11, 102.5x9, 102.5x9 +97.5x3, 97.5x8 (-2 reps, -3 reps, -1 drop set rep, plus a light bonus set, compared to last time). Whelp. Regression rather than the progress I was hoping for. I guess I'll attribute that to the drinking and slightly disrupted sleep. Added the extra set to try to make up for it.
  • Overhead shoulder press machine 50x14, 50x12, 50x12 +40x4 (+1 rep, +1 rep, 1+ rep main and drop set) Ok, at least that one was better.
  • Machine biceps curls 70x25, 70x20, 70x15 (+5 reps, +2 reps, -3 reps; I'll take it!)
Sunday morning got in a somewhat rushed session before book club:
  • Lat Pulldown (narrow): 120x18, 120x12 +105x4, 120x11 +105x4 (from last time +2 reps, -2 reps, same)
  • Machine shoulder press: 50x18, 50x15 +40x3 (+3 reps, + the drop set reps, but skipped the third set)
  • Rear delt flies: 90x15, 90x11 +80x3.5 (+10lbs -1 rep, +10lbs -5 reps compared to Feb 5 when I hadn't strained my shoulder like last time, but I added the drop set).
Overall still felt good for an abbreviated set; slept in after a wonderful Chinese New Year dinner the night before with some friends, and a couple of drinks.

If it weren't for the blizzard outside and the gym being closed today I probably would go after work today, as I have plenty of energy, but I'll take the rest and plan to get back in Wednesday.
How's your energy level been overall since you recovered from the crud?
