Week 28 - 5/3/1 - Day 97

Cycle #7 Week 3 Day 2

Gym time has been really out of sync this past 2 weeks.  I've planned on moving to a new gym and so I'm probably going to avoid going gung-ho on the lifts until I get settled in.  The first I visited was fairly low key.  Looks to be office space rented out and turned into a gym. Didn't look like much until I saw the other half which was a totally different space than the other half.  High ceilings, 30 yds of what I would guess was astroturf.  Saw 2 squat stands- I'd never squatted using these before, was pretty cool.  The gym, however, did not have dipping stations which is a bit irksome, but, right now, any gym I can find that is cheaper than my current $99 a month membership is good news.  Going to check out some other ones in the area.

Squat:  5xBar, 5x115, 3x135, 3x155 + 5x185, 3x205, 3x225

Conditioning:  Treadmill + 1mile + 3.0 spd

There is no need to be impatient.  Anything that is accomplished quickly and easily will not long endure.  Now is the time to concentrate on the construction of a solid foundation.  I hope you will complete this work slowly but surely, filled with hope and joy.
