Day 59: Shoulders and Arms (Disappointing)

By far my most disappointing workout.

I was in a rotten mood as I got some bad news, and I was looking forward to working off some steam by bringing it to the Shoulders and Arms workout.

I should have known I was in for an unfulfilling workout when on the first exercise I broke one of my purple bands on the "MyGym". It hurt big time. I still have a welt.

I wish I could say that it was because I was working too hard, but reality states that the band just wore out. Oh well, at least I have 10 of the 12 bands left on the sides. Of course I had to break two different colored bands on two different sides, so I've effectively crippled the contraption.

I'm over the bands altogether. In some of the other workouts, I can still feel the effects, but this one I felt like I was getting no where. What's worse is that I can't move up to the next level of band, but the one I am on is too light. I didn't feel half of the exercises.

Frustration Cubed!

Also, what is up with the Side-Tri- Rise? I don't feel it at all. Maybe it's because the gusy on the video have huge muscles and weigh more, but I can do twenty like it's nothing and then do the other side.

I didn't feel I got a sweat-on at all. Even the Ab-Ripper left me feeling empty. I won't feel much better after Yoga tomorrow, so I'll need Friday's Legs and Back to get my juices flowing.

On a positive note, I am still at 173 lbs, which is a good thing. A rotten day capped with a rotten workout, but this type of day has been rare during the whole process, so I can't complain.

I'm still mad at Tony for adding about 6 more reps to the backwards bicylces. I did the Cross Legged Sit Ups entirely, even with the pain that has stealthily moved to the other side of my neck. It hurts more when I am lying down than working out, but it's there.

More tomorrow!
