Divided By Zero's Journal, 30 April 2010

Went to the gym for the first time this morning. I'm pretty sure I'm going to wake up hurtin' tomorrow, but the good kind of hurt.

I did...
Dumbbell bench press 3x10
Squats 3x8
Seated rows 3x10
Hamstring curls 2x10
Leg extensions 2x10
Pullups 5, assisted pullups 8
Tricep pulldowns 3x10
Concentration curls 3x10
Calf raises 3x10
Decline situps 1x10
Hanging leg raises 2x10

I haven't been there in two years, but I immediately recognized three of the people in there from before. The sad thing was that they hadn't changed. One had even gained a bit. I don't know if they've been working out for years without change, but it sucks if they have been. I quickly realized why it could happen though. The entire 45 minutes of my workout, those guys only did 1 set. They spent the rest of their time socializing. I don't ever want to be "that guy".

By the way... I HATE SQUATS! I don't know if I'm just built wrong or something, but I can never do them right. My upper body always goes too far forward. I can't keep my balance, and the only way I can go all the way down is with an extremely wide stance. The only way I can keep good form is to use such a light weight that it doesn't even give me a good workout. I'll probably stop trying to do regular barbell squats and opt for front squats, hack squats, or leg press instead.

Yeah, THere are alot of people that go to the gym just to socialize... Personally for me, I dont like making friends at the gym becuase it bothers the heck out of me when Im working out and they come up to me and start talking to me while im in workout mode and only focused on the excersise... And they get mad if you are done working with one machine and have to move to the next but they aren't finished talking and you just seem rude then... lol...

LOL I don't mind questions, tips, or spotting someone, but I can't stand people trying to have a long conversation with me while I try to work out. I'm trying to get in and out of there as fast as possible. I used to work out with my brother, and we would talk the whole time, but we never stopped the workout to do it. We just kept chatting as we went from station to station.

I know what you mean about the people who go to socialize my friends bless 'em do that a lot they will generally only go together and then if i come with them they get offended if i walk off and do something different they also only use cardio machines which seems like a bit of a waste but thats a whoole other issue.

Watch out for that wide stance! Didn't that get a senator in trouble or something? lol! Love the motivational pictures! I was just thinking it's been too long since I worked out with weights. Enjoy your well-earned achiness today! :)
