First day, first workout.
Woke up at 7am, layed there knowing that this is the first step of many to come.
Still, despite my enthusiasm leading up to this day, I still had to pull myself out of bed to get ready.
I tried 'Pump Fuel', a GNC pre-workout supplement, a one serving trial pack. Ive read that basicly it is just a bunch of caffeine to give one a good 'pump' and energy to last a workout.
I mixed it, downed it, almost immediately I could feel the effects, felt like it made me a lil hyper, felt a shake in the legs. Again not sure if its the caffeine or the Nitric Oxide that these kind of supps preach.
I have BSN's N.O.-Xplode to take, Ill see if it has the same effects.
Got to the school and walked to the wellness center. Signed in and jumped on a bike for a warm-up. Felt good.
Then went to chest-flys, after a set, still felt good. Went over to a curl machine, pounded out a set, still felt good so maybe the stuff was working.
Then went and did some shoulder presses, again was breaking a sweat yet still felt good, then some dumbbell lunges.
Back on the bike, then did some tricep pulldowns. Passed a mirror and could see the 'pump'.
Did some leg curls, then leg extensions, I was starting to feel the fatigue, my ego got the best of me and I jumped the weight up more than I should have.
Its been a couple years since I worked out so I should have taken it slow and light at first.
Thats the entire philosophy behind doing a light circuit training routine for the first few weeks before really hittin the weights.
Lesson learned....for sure.
Did some more bicept curls and another chest fly set....by that time I was spent.
Went to the corner to stretch out and call it a day.
No abs today, I will do that tomorrow, really work them out. Also give me a chance to recooperate from todays workout...Im bound to be sore....if Im not....I did something wrong.
8am I was done and walking in the rain to my truck to go home n shower. Completely exhausted...and this is only the beginning. Still sitting here now typing this out I am fully aware of what has to be put in effort wise to accomplish what I want.
I just have to make sure to keep my ego in check, I cant expect to lift what I did back when I was training everyday.
Now to make something to eat....egg whites...maybe some wheat toast and a glass of 2% milk. Sounds tastey .......getting hungry.
