I got a quick little session in at lunch today. Not as heavy as I would have liked, but whatevs.
Curl: 65x5, 85x5, 95x3, 117.5x3, 112.5x5,4,3,3
Press: 95x5, 145x3, 165x1, 177.5x3,3, 175x3, 172.5x4, 170x4
KB Press: 32kg (each arm, one at a time): 5,5,5,3; 24kgx10 (both arms @ same time)
Incline situps: 10
Time: 62 minutes
BW: 249.5lb (headed in the right direction)
I got to the gym a little later today, which meant the weights area got invaded by the basketball crowd. Silly bullshit abounded. One of the better examples (besides the plethora of situps) was what I would call the "Lateral raise-press with lunge". To start, the lunger looks like the African guy from "I Heart Huckabees", about equally as tall. He grabbed the standard bar that has two 5s on either side (the collars are rusted onto the bar, so that is the only weight that can be used), and proceded to do a half lunge while pressing the bar (at a 45° angle to the ground). He was then CORRECTED on this exercise by another guy, on the proper way to lunge. After all of that, the original guy instructed a third guy on how to do the motion.
In a gym battle, who would win with sheer nonsense: a CrossFitter with poor form (across broad time & modal domains) or an ill-informed amateur bodybuilder?
