cattitude and I spent much of the morning walking around Central Park looking at The Gates. We emerged at Columbus Circle, had lunch at Tea Den--New Year's cakes with baby shrimp, because it's a new year, and pork with scallions, just because it sounded good. Both were good, and quite filling.
Nonetheless, I went to the gym after lunch, to lift weights. I decided that I could get away with skipping cardio, although strolling in the park, however healthy, isn't precisely cardio exercise.
Calf machine, 75 pounds, 2 sets of 12; 70 pounds, 15
Plate-loaded leg press, 250 pounds, 3 sets of 12
Bench press, 65 pounds, 10, 7; 60 pounds, 8
Seated leg curl, 100 pounds, 10; 85 pounds, 15
Tricep pulldown, 50 pounds, 2 sets of 15, with a break during the second set to sit down and massage the front of my right thigh. In retrospect, I probably should have waited a little longer after lunch, even if it meant sitting with a book in the locker room, and done at least a five-minute cardio warmup before the weight work.
Wrist curl, 35 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Adjustable row, 100 pounds, 4: I had the form all wrong, and when I tried it correctly, 100 pounds was clearly too heavy. 90 pounds, 9: still leaning too far back to get the benefit of this one. Feh.
Crunches, 4 sets of 20
Back arches, 3 sets of 17
Yoga tree, 4 sets of {2 on each leg}: trickier than usual, my right heel is tender
Biceps curl, 35 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Lateral raise (full), 5 pounds in each hand, 3 sets of 15
Stretches
Most of those increases are back towards previous plateaus, but the leg press is definite progress: I'd been doing this in two sets, not three, for the most part.
