Return To Bodybuilding At Olympus Gym – Mad Chaos: September 19, 1997

Views: 597

The weekend is here and right now I’m writing delusional from pumping Iron at Olympus Gym.  Yes, it is becoming a reality for me that I’m lifting weights once more after an extensive holiday.

Martinson Engineering Work – Friday

While at work for Martinson Engineering today I wrote out some more melody parts to my song and finished off some due work.  

Thinking Stupidly Towards Lyssa

Coming home it was raining.  When I got to Campbelltown I called Ali and he came to pick me up.  

At home I called Lyssa while Ali was here.  She didn’t know if her or the girls had any plans tonight but I still won’t bother her.  Besides, I honestly have seen her too much this week.  I’m starting to think stupidly.

Olympus Gym Training Session

Then I ate, got dressed and we drove down to Olympus gym to train, here is my regimen.

Warm-up:The Warm-up was performed on the bikes and for around 4 minutes I must have burnt at least 10 calories.
Chest:Warming up on Bench Press with 40 pounds I performed 25 reps after a stretch of the Chest.  Lifting the poundage to 100 pounds I quickly but harshly performed another 12 reps.  Dropping the weight down to 80 pounds I just managed 12 more reps.  Walking to the Seated Bench Press I repped out 12 reps to 120 pounds.  My last set was on Peck Deck where with 50 pounds I done 12 reps to stretch the Chest Cavity.
Latissimus:Starting with Seated Cable Rows and 60 pounds I performed a Warm-up set of 20 reps.  Flaring out the Chest I done another 12 reps with 90 pounds.  Jumping onto Wide Grip Lat Pull-downs I performed a set of 12 reps with 60 pounds then 10 reps with 50 pounds crunching the shoulders together.
Quadriceps:Starting with Leg Extensions I performed 25 Warm-up reps with 60 pounds.  Jumping onto Leg Press and starting on 160 pounds I moved the weight 15 times.  Increasing poundage to 200 pounds I performed another Lactic Acid building 12 reps and then another set of 12 reps with the same weight.
Hamstrings:This is where the weight started to get easy using 60 pounds on Lying Leg Curls for 20 reps and then 80 pounds for another 20 reps, this was stressful.
Biceps:Taking the advantage of using dumbbells I burnt out on 9 reps using 30 pounders on Alternate Dumbbell Curls.  My last Bicep set was with Standing Cable Curls with 50 pounds on the Cable just performing 10 reps.
Abdominals:Being the last of the body-parts I performed Machine Ab Crunches with around 20 pounds and done 20 reps.  Low Ab Crunches was next managing 10 reps and then 5 more reps on the Machine Ab Crunches.  Until today I didn’t know it was weighted.

There was no warm-down but I was real tired after that session, and I still have to eat.

Imad just called me up and told me he was coming over.  So I guess something might be happening tonight, even though it’s raining.  

Planning The Weekend

Tomorrow it’s time to book that room with Lyssa.  

I will visit Campbelltown library to print out a portion of my Diary and a whole lot of other personal stuff.  

I’ll have to also purchase a CD tomorrow and run some other errands.  

I should also visit the pharmacist and purchase the pill for Lyssa.  

Tomorrow is very busy actually, and I hope that Lyssa and I will be very busy that night.  I can just close my eyes and imagine it.  

All I have to wait on tonight is Ali and Imad.  Then we’re meeting up with Shawn, Ralf and Tatton after they leave the Catholic Club.
