Default Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda and Icehog3 II

So I took the motorcycle to the gym like I do every dry day in the summer. Almost got hit by some young punk who decided to go straight from the left turn lane and whipped into my lane. Missed me by less than 6 inches hitting me sideways, closest I've ever had a car come to hitting me.

So my old job taught me about adrenaline and adrenaline dumps. Adrenaline can give you a temporary strength increase, while the adrenaline dump is exhausting.

Wasn't sure if I had already hit the dump stage when I got to he gym, but I had not. My bent over rows were the strongest they've been in a long time, getting 20 + reps with 225 and 10 with 285. By the time I was done with the 2nd set of my third exercise, the dump hit. I ended the workout right there, because the 11 sets I did were killer, and I knew any subsequent sets wouldn't be near as intense.

Bent over rows x 5 sets
T-bar rows x 4 sets
Cable rows x 2 sets

And I lived to see another workout <knocks on wood> .
