Lifting Take 2
September 14, 2005 – 7:29 pmToday, my second lift day, was not as tough as the first one. We weren’t maxing, and we just concentrated on arms. I wasn’t able to do the lifts at the original weight level coach picked, but I did ok at first when he adjusted it. The last two exercises were a different story though. One was medicine ball pushups, 1 set of 10, 1 set as many as you could do. I couldn’t do any, even the first time. So he had me try “hands close” pushups… again I simply couldn’t do any. This wasn’t “Oh… it hurts, I don’t wanna do any” this was “wow… my arms aren’t listening to me” Then we did dips on 2 bars… I couldn’t even hold myself up, much less do any dips. So coach had me do dips on a couple of benches, and I did like 2 or 3…
Maybe I would be more sore if I had actually done any of those, but I’m not nearly as tight or sore as I was after last time…
