Another gym post

[redbird]

I didn't leave work slightly early, as planned, because I ran across what seemed like a simple problem, but turned into a "now why is this patch file wrong, and where is the proper file?" hunt, with random conversation. The answer to the former was "Cindy will know, and [other editor] will talk to her tomorrow morning." The latter included my commenting that the weight-lifting serves me as an anti-depressant, which led to her saying that exercising makes her depressed. This is unfortunate, as well as being another case of how much people vary. (I think she meant something beyond finding it tedious.)

And then I went to the gym, which wasn't as annoyingly crowded as it had been when I arrived around the same time last Wednesday. A decent workout, and this time my back didn't complain when I put the daypack on afterwards.

Cardio, 16 minutes, not sure of top heart rate, at least 142, maybe 144
Leg press, 250 pounds, 12; 230 pounds, 2 sets of 15
Balance ~fly, 55 pounds, 2 sets of 15 with each foot forward
Calf raise, 70 pounds, 2 sets of 13; 60 pounds, 13 (I used weight plates the previous person had left, and misread them as 80 until I went to swap the 25 for a ten and a five, but it was hard enough getting through the second set that it's probably as well that I hadn't tried 80+.)
[Briefly tried a "shoulder press" machine as substitute for my chest press [unavailable because of Xpress Line] but my left wrist objected; 2 of those at, I think, 50 pounds]
Crunches, 3 sets of 30
Back arches, 3 sets of 17
Tree, 4 sets of {3 on each leg}

Balance lateral raise, 5 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 15
Wrist curls, 30 pounds, 2 sets of 15
Glute machine, 50 pounds, 12 with each leg (my belly wasn't thrilled, perhaps because of all those crunches, which is the main reason I did sets of 12 instead of 15)
Bicep curls, 10 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 20
