Old-School Iron

Once again, week 8 in one go.

It seems there’s something wrong with my weeks. They seem short, and I can’t seem to get everything done the way I would like. Take this week for example, I was planning on blogging after each and every workout, but look what happened. I’m a week behind…

Oh, well. Better late than never, I should think.

The first workout this week was Arms, since this weeks workouts were: arms, legs and back and I had just done that leg/back combo thingy. Also, Kris was there as a featuring artist..!

Kris’ first words upon seeing the place: “I thought it was bigger from the clips…”
And to my immense surprise, he even came up with exercises you CAN do on the multimachine, instead of just doing the crunchie on it…

And behold!! RUST!! The Ez-bar has not been in use lately, it would seem. Better change that.

Here’s the workout, and the clip:

* = Ummm, yes well. Due to a calculation error, we actually thought it was 32,5 kgs until the very end of the workout. It was all a bit embarrassing and all that, but Kris and I pulled through somehow by the grace of God, and there was much rejoicing.

The second workout was legs. Unfortunately, there will be no clip on this, because I had run out of batteries on my camera, and didn’t have time to fetch new ones. I hope I won’t get death-threats over this transgression…

The next workout was back and delts. I also noted with some hints of regret that this was to be the last 60 sec workout for at least two months. Next week will be 20-30 reps speedwork, and so I’ll be sore as hell for the first week or so again. Oh, well, c’est la guerre.
