Another gym post

[redbird]

It was a cool, quiet weekend, whose highlight was roasting a duck, and roasting carrots in the duck fat. Today, I went to work, where I was reminded that I'm not that good at 3-D visualization but not the worst either, and then to the gym.

The notes for the gym entries generally look something like this: "20+2 top 157 chest 70#10, 65#6 leg 250#15, 13; 230#15 wrist 30#2x15 calf 70# 3x15 ~fly 55# 2x15 ea C3A2T5 bal lat 5 ea 15; 2.5 ea 15; bicep 10 ea 2 x 20 stretch"

That translates to:

Cardio 20 minutes plus 2 minutes of cooldown, top heart rate 157

Chest press, 70 pounds, 10; 65 pounds, 6
Leg press, 250 pounds, 15, 13 (that last rep was a bit iffy), 230 pounds 15
Wrist curl, 30-pound bar, 2 sets of 15
Slanted calf raise, 70 pounds, 3 sets of 15 (the left calf came close to cramping near the ends of both the second and third sets, dropping to 60 pounds for the third would probably have been sensible)
Balance ~fly, 55 pounds, 2 sets of {15 with each leg forward}

Crunches, 3 sets of 30
Back arches, 2 sets of 17
Tree, 5 sets of {3 on each leg}

Balance lateral raise, 5 pounds each hand, 15; 2.5 pounds each, 15
Bicep curls, 10 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 20
