Old-School Iron

Date: 26.12.2005
Time: 22.34 PM
Mission: To blast the hell out of the entire upper body. Repent!!

Yes, okay, that may be a bit on the dramatic side, but…
Since there really hadn’t been all that much workout-wise happening in the week prior to christmas I figured I’d hit the gym with a vengeance. Again, Metal gym provided me and Kris with the venue - a deserted gym late at night. What could be better?

Also, another favorite of mine made a comeback, namely forced reps (marked with a plus in the rep-range). I have not used these for at least five years or so. It was hell, it burned like intravenous chilipowder, but I loved it nonetheless.
