I absolutely felt like quitting today. But I told myself what the heck would that accomplish? Sure, I'd be done early, ya I could quit putting myself through this agony and get some other things done. I'm coming back tomorrow, so what difference does it make if I don't do abs today? You can't make up a lost workout. So I finished. Take that desire-to-stop. ha....

January 31st, 2006

Start: 8:04am
Finish: 9:05am

Warm Up: Three minutes on the eliptical and some rotator stuff
BB Bench: 70lbsx8/90lbsx8/160lbsx8*
Dips: 8/8/5
Incline DB Flyes: 15lbsx8/25lbsx8/35lbsx8
Bench Dips (on ball): 10x3
Rope Pushdowns: 7.5kgx8/12.5kgx8/17.5kgx8
Decline Skulls: 35lbsx8/55lbsx8/65lbsx6**
Ball Crunches: 15x3
Ball Obliques: 15x3

Thoughts: *It wasn't pretty, but I managed to get the bar up all the way. I added five pounds to each set. New PR for me on the bench. ** Did these last in the tricep work. Usually do these first. Last time I did seven. Gotta switch things up once in a while anyway.

Overall, I'm glad I beat down the 'take a break' demons and moved on. Feel as though I accomplished something now.
