Short but ..sleepy


Tonight I really have nothing to write about, I'd love to rant about the current NBA lockout situation which is stopping me from watching and analysing some games but I don't think I have a stance either way. On one hand the small market teams are probably losing a bunch of money but on the other the 52.5% (of basketball raised revenue) proposal that Derek Fisher and the players union put forward is very reasonable and all the way down from 57%. In any case, I just want to some basketball already. Make it happen lads.


The Workout
In the Squat Rack? Seriously?
The first thing I noticed when entering the weights floor after getting changed was a girl using a bosu in the squat rack and a guy who between sets of bench press (within the smith machine aaargh!) was lifting his shirt to check out his abs and chest. This did not bode well and I thought I was in for a terrible workout but actually it was pretty good and even though there were 2392 people in the gym; I didn't have to wait more than a couple of minutes for anything.

EXERCISE
 Set #1 
 Set #2 
 Set #3 
 Set #4 
 Set #5 
 Squat   90kgx5  90kgx5  95kgx5  95kgx5  95kgx5
 Bent over row   60kgx5  60kgx5   60kgx5   60kgx5   60kgx5 
 Bench Press   70kgx5  70kgx5 75kgx5 72.5kgx5 72.5kgx5
 Seated Calf Raise  70kgx12 70kgx12 80kgx12XXXX
 DB Triceps Extension   22.5kgx12 25kgx12 25kgx12XXXX


Pretty happy with the workout even though I still haven't managed to re-crack the 100kg squat club again. I accidentally benched 75kg for one set when I accidentally put on 2.5kg plates instead of 1.25 (which I seem to do quite frequently). I think if I had of had a spotter I could have done the last two sets at 75kg, but I didn't - oh well.

Supplements
Pre-workout: Scivation Quake: Basically the same deal as the Assault, I'm trying to finish up some old preworkout powders before getting onto any new ones and Quake is pretty good.
Intra-workout: Scivation Xtend (grape) - grape - 'nuff sed.
Protein:  Dymatize Elite Strawberry - I like strawberries.

Music
It was a hip-hop kind of night tonight and I worked out to Tapemasters Inc Presents 50 Cent & Lloyd Banks Southside Slaughter. Pretty decent mixtape if you like this kinda thing.
