How did you get off your butt today?

Doubt if I travelled more than 100 m between bed, desk, kitchen and bathroom today. Did not leave the house at all. Maybe I should...
 
I actually left the house today! Went for a walk, then cycled for the first time in ages. It made me so sick but was good to get off my ass for a change.

deadlifts are fucking awesome. I love the way it makes me feel after. I think I'm coming down with a cold or something :/ nose is stuffed up and I feel sluggish.

Yes they are. Shit will get you high. It's a totally exhausting workout, and when I reach the point where I simply cannot do anymore I am genuinely confused as to whether I am suffering muscle failure, or whether I am simply out of breath. Not only that, but since I have been doing them I feel a lot stronger, more so than with any other exercise I have done.

My last deadlift workout on Monday got fucked up, though. My gym is crowded with equipment due to some renovations and rebranding they are doing, and some asshole kept using a machine right in front of me every time I would pick up the bar. I was therefore more concerned about whacking his knees with a hundred pound barbell than keeping my technique perfect, and my whole shit got fucked up. I believe the polite thing to do is just wait the one minute for somebody to finish doing a potentially dangerous exercise before using the equipment, or any exercise really, nobody likes it when people invade their space.

Can't wait to try again this Monday, I did find a relatively large error in my technique in both squats and deadlifts that I have since rectified (my heels were off the ground, I am a natural tiptoe walker and did not think it a very big deal that I did both squats and deadlifts on my toes, provided I put in the extra effort to keep my back properly arched). The perils of being a relative beginner. Other than that, now, my technique is now perfect, and I have worked on my calf, hamstring, and inner thigh flexibility well enough to get into the proper position for all of these exercises. It took about 3 days for proper squat position, still working on the deadlift but by Monday I will be there.

Did some squats, lunges, and calf-raises late last night. Going to do my first deltoid workout in forever today, so after a long hiatus and the gradual reintroduction of my entire routine (I implemented one new routine each week, first week arms, second legs, third back, fourth week delts), I will finally have a complete weight training routine again, with better controls on it to ensure I do not procrastinate and fall off again.
 
Well I seem to have pulled some muscle in my leg that I didn't even know existed (the 'gluteus medius' if I go by online diagrams) and it now hurts like hell when I walk or run, so the usual jog was out of the question - 30mn exercise bike, 15mn rowing machine, 15mn weights and other arm machines instead.
 
put my run tracker on for an experiment yesterday, ran to a basketback court about a mile away and back, and spent 40 mins shooting hoops/running up and down court dribbling for some lame arse 3 pointers and layups.

smashed me, but it only chocked up 2.91 miles :(

but check out the map. =D

Was gonna go to gym but workout partner bailed decided not to go. I was like fuck it n dropped n did 300 pushups. Damn I'm weak. Gotta get up to the 500 range in under an hour. That would be ideal.
