I finally got that mp3 player working, and I loaded up a pretty intense, heavy-speed metal from the 80s (what I can say? I heart the 80s) and made my way to the gym. First off, what a difference. Music's always been a big motivator for me, so having Megadeath blaring into my ears.. (I think something about ripping rabbit's heads off and feeding them to Satan.. couldn't quite understand the words), I got an extra pump of adreneline today.
Oh, and the great news. I know I'm not supposed to look at the individual day, but again.. my blog, my rules (hat tip to Billy).. so seeing 334 was a nice surprise this morning. It puts me at a even 336 for my 5-day average, and I've got the weekend to drop a few more and get that nasty 337 off of my record (336.5, 337, 336, 336.5, 334), so we'll see what Monday's weigh-in brings.
Other than that, I'm feeling pretty good. One thing of note that was odd today.. when I was doing the Shoulder Presses, during the second set, my body completely gave out. I got my presses up to the 9th, 10th rep.. and I couldn't lift it anymore. The body just said "sorry, lunch break". I fought as hard as I could, but couldn't get the 11th one up. I've been having NO issues with this, and was thinking about raising the 120 to 140, but today scrapped that idea.
The strange part: The third set up went up no problem.
Must have been the Megadeath.

I never was one to have a MP3 player before but when I started to workout, I bought one. It also makes a big difference for me. I feel all energized during the entire workout. Keep it up Rob!
I've always thought that I was pretty good with the technology, but I missed the whole mp3 thing until now. It makes a noticable difference, when you're not constantly thinking about that next rep.
Kev got me an iPod Shuffle for Christmas and I can't do a workout without it now. Honestly, I don't know how I did a non-music workout before! So yeah, those things rock.
Speaking of rock, 80's metal is awesome. What a way to get pumped. GNR and Aerosmith also have good workout music. ;)
