A funny thing happened at the gym today. I pumped some iron. I needed to start some sort of strength program...I have needed to start some sort of strength program for a while.
Pete asked me how long I have taken off from lifting. I have kind of taken my whole life off from lifting. So I guess almost 39 years would be the appropriate answer. It may be a shock to some of you that I don't subscribe to a serious strength training program. I have the upper body of an 11 year old Ethiopian boy...just hairier. I know - gross.
Okay so what did I do? Ran for 24 minutes at a pretty easy pace with Curtis. We will just call it an even 3 miles.
When I asked Feldman if it was okay that used 30 pound dumbbells for my bench, she did well to control her laughter. So I acted like a big boy and grabbed two 35 pounders and did 3 sets of 12. The last set was rough.
Then I did chest press (or something else) 3 sets of 12 at 50 pounds. Holla!
I couldn't eat dinner because I can't raise my arms. Sad. Very sad.
