Week 3 workout

Ok, today was another workout without a workout partner and I can honestly say I think you NEED a workout partner for this. I feel like I had a little more juice left when I would stop. It's really hard to keep pushing through the lactic acid buildup without someone there to encourage you and keep you honest about going to failure. That said, I still got in a pretty good workout, just wish I had pushed a little harder. Also, I think I'm hitting a point where my weight increases should be in smaller increments, so I'll start using the 5 lbs weights on top of the stack now to increase my lifts.

Weigh-in: 146.6
Body Fat: 9.4%

Chest Press: 130 lbs
Shoulder Press: 65 lbs
Lat pulldown: 130 lbs
Rows: 130 lbs
Leg Press: 290 lbs

Hopefully I'll have a partner for my next workout. Time to pig out for the rest of the day. I have a 1 lb chuck eye steak, and some bison steaks for protein, and then a big batch of korean sweet potato noodles and veggies to scarf down. I'll probably go out for a beer or two later as well.
