Hey everyone. Hope your weekend is going well. Today I've got another gym update. I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea, so feel free to skip. Today was a "test day" for me. I wanted to see how heavy I could go on three exercises I've been practicing literally for years: the incline dumbbell bench press, the lat pulldown, and the pull up. Could I do a bench press with 30 pound dumbbells? Could I lift the entire deck of weights while doing a lat pulldown? And could I perform two unassisted pull ups with proper form? Well, see for yourself.
It's been fun to see how months and months of hard work are finally paying off. I've now increased my work capacity and can do these movements a lot more efficiently. I'm convinced I haven't reached my true potential in any of these exercises yet. Always wanting to improve!
That's all I have for now. Thanks for being here everyone. Have a wonderful day.
P.S. Thanks to the trainers at the Y for their nifty camera work.
