Why was the gym empty today? Cinco de Mayo? I dunno, we were missing a lot of broccoli-headed high schoolers today. Maybe their parents were too drunk to drop them off.

I was out in the sun all day and felt like shit, and the back thing fucking with my deadlift… This still ended up being a really effective leg workout.

Pec Dec - 2 sets, this particular machine is a piece of shit. I think this is the 2nd time I’ve wasted energy on this. Startrac. And probably an original piece that was installed the same time the gym opened around 2001 or so.
Triceps V-Bar Cable pushdown - 3 sets
BB Curlz 80# x 10, 8
My normal 1.25-mile drive to the gym turned into a 10-mile congested 20-minute clusterfuck thanks to road construction. I was hoping that meant an empty gym. Instead, everyone decided that would be the ideal place to hunker down for the evening. I spent more time waiting for racks/machines than I did working out. 80 minutes for the above workout.
