Tired, tired, tired. It was probably a combination of how hard I worked my back last week and the fact that I haven't gotten enough sleep each night for a few days, but this workout was another "mental workout." Just had to slog through, rep by rep, kilo by kilo. Granted, I'm not lifting light weight to begin with, but it's definitely time for a weekend "recharge."

I was once again struck by how lame many guys' form is: half-reps, even quarter reps. It's as unseemly to me as people half-chewing and then slurping down their food is to others. I've got a very busy Friday (today) ahead of me, so I'll have to do my tricep/shoulder/trap workout on Saturday. Then, next Friday I'm attending (and presenting at) an educational conference in Taipei so I'll have Friday and the weekend off.

Hoorah.

[UPDATE:

Scratch the Saturday (today) workout. I got a sudden case of gastritis Friday, saw a doc, left work early and slept about 11 hours last night. "Rest, and the rest shall take care of itself." Plus, I've got some tutoring and social commitments today. Riveting stuff, I know.]
