My friend Aaron and I went to the gym today. I was really worried that he'd think I was a total pansy, but it turned out ok. I benched! Ok it was only the bar and only three times, but I could have done more! Maybe... Aaron assured me that he didn't think I was a wimp, but I think he was just saying that because I'm a girl and made him look like he was lifting way more. Oh well.
I'll try to explain what all I did:
- 180 lbs on this leg squat lay down machine. I'm not sure what it's called, but you laid down on this padded thing and pushed up a bunch of weights with your legs. Wow that was a horrible description...whatevs
- I couldn't do the calf machine because the length from my knee to my feet was too short to fit :(
- Benched the bar three times! All time personal record - I beat 1 from previous benching experiences!
- I lost count of how many crunches on the inclined bench I did, but for some of them I held a 25 lb weight. It sounds impressive, but it's probably really not. The weight got dirt on my shirt. Gross.
- Some machine where you sit down and make your arms spread out. You grab this bar thing and pull them together. I think there was about 50 lbs on it? Maybe not, maybe like 30? 25? I forget.
- Hm I'm not sure how to describe this one. Well, I rested my forearms on this padded arm rest and pulled my knees up to my chest while just dangling there. Lots of times.
- Triceps pull downs w/ 30 lbs resistance
- Some ab swivel machine w/ 50 lbs resistance
Yeah those were terrible explanations, but oh well. At least I was working out.
