meanwhile, back at the gym
I went to the gym yesterday, for the first time in over a week. Mostly it went pretty well, but the crunches felt difficult after the layoff.
Hip adduction, 105 pounds: 2 sets of 15, then 9 reps at 105 and 3 more at 100 pounds. Hip abduction, 90 pounds, 3 sets of 12.
Cardio, 33 minutes.
Bench press, 50 pounds, 13 reps, then 11. 45 pounds, 9 reps. Taking the weight down helped less than I'd hoped.
Seated leg curl, 70 pounds, 2 sets of 15; 65 pounds, 15.
Adjustable row, 100 pounds, 3 sets of 15. My hands felt close to slipping off the handle starting around the middle of the third set.
Crunches and arches, 3 sets of 15 each. My right calf cramped up on about the fourth rep of cat-and-camel afterwards, no tree.
Chest press, 35 pounds, 4 reps. 30 pounds, 3 reps. 25 pounds, 8 reps, after which I decided to try some other time, and maybe find a trainer and make sure I have the machine set properly.
Seated leg extensions, one leg at a time: 10 pounds, 3 sets of 10 on each leg.
Bicep curls, 30 pound bar, 3 sets of 12, alternating with wrist curls, using the one-pound weights, 3 sets of 15.
Finished with the usual stretches.
Meanwhile, my Palm seems to have lost input in the upper right corner--which is among other things the place I'd need to click to tell it to adjust the input. And either my trackball is going south, or my manual dexterity is. I really hope it's the trackball.
Update: It was the trackball. Cleaning this device involved removing four tiny Philips-head screws, and then discovering a large and ugly amount of cruft, to be removed with care and Q-tips. And now it glides, it sings, it's great--I wonder if it will give lessons to the Palm.
