another day in...

Haven't posted in a while, been fighting a cold in addition to everything else on my plate. I seem to have the exact opposite problem as most people, I keep dropping weight regardless of what I do, I'm hoping that as I'm able to keep working out more that I'll be able to creep back up to a more normal weight. I weighed in at 160 even fully clothed which puts me at the lightest I've been in about 4 years, the last time I was this low I had spent a week in the hospital....not fun. Since I was feeling better I did get a little workout in today. The other day I did a set of chinups as a test to see how everything would hold up, a few days later, no pain so it was time to up the ante.

Today's workout:

Chinups and Dips superset - 10/6, 10/8, 10/10

Mills 15lb clubbell drop set 30/30, 20/20, 10/10, 5/5

Overall felt pretty good RPE on superset got to a 7 on the last rep of the last set, probably should have stopped at 8 instead of 10 but I'm stubborn and I did them without using excess tension next time I'll stick with sets of 8 max. I want to work my way up to a single set of 30 eventually and then onto a set of 40 and 50, somewhat of a long term goal, I've never been much of an endurance guy but I should be able to do at least 40 straight if I plan on climbing at the level I want to again. I have time I just need to make sure I pace my self and remember it isn't a race.

You're right, it isn't a race. Easy to overdo things when you have alot of interests and limited time!

Keep it up man! Hope you feel better!
