Adaptation Workout

I got to the gym late and have been running to keep up with my schedule all dang day. Cardio? Done! Back workout? Done! Then groceries, meeting the schoolbus, getting laundry started, off to kung fu, back for supper for us and the dog (and his walk, of course), then off to Cub Scouts planning meeting. Back again finally. Laundry in dryer. Dishes done. Homework done. Phew! Getting everything prepped for tomorrow. Done. Whew...

My finger still hurts when I put pressure on it so I've been babying it as if it were broken. That makes doing a Back Workout a bit difficult. I start off with Smith RG BB Rows but find it hard on my hands even with the VGs. My hands tend to roll the bar forward, catching it on the stays which is awkward. The gym is oddly empty for late morning but there are a few newbies in the DB area. I move over to the BB area and put a pair of big plates on the oly bar. People are always surprised when I do that. The few newbie guys in the DB area don't dare look my way, especially since I've got more weight on the oly than I used on the Smith.

My finger only really bothers me at the Seated Cable Rows and I change my routine accordingly, pyramiding up, then down. There are a few regulars today: Yankee, Tattoo Tank, creepy PJ Pants. I walk over to the Lower Back Extension machine as a soft round newbie is walking away after wrestling with the shoulder bar. I'm not sure what his issue is but I don't even look up when he returns. I have my three sets to do and it's double the weight he had. I don't have time for discussion, and I will bulldoze right over you if you get in my way.

I toy with the idea of doing Inverted Rows on the Smith but someone is using it for Shoulder Presses. No matter. Time to finish up cardio work. Another 30 minutes, a quick stretch and I'm done. Because I have way too many things to do today.

Still Got DOMS

I'll admit that I'm a bit surprised to still be experiencing DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) a day after a set of Walking Lunge...
