Gym Diary: Tuesday, October 16, 2012

     I'm happiest when I keep my weight between 69 and 73 kg.  Today, my weight after lunch was 71.4.  

     I follow no special diet.  Simply said, I drink whole milk, eat a variety of fresh foods, nuts, dried fruit, whole grain cereals and bread.  When I want ice cream, I go for the expensive stuff at an ice cream shop, so I don't eat it that often.  I enjoy going out to eat steak, pizza, pasta, and whatever looks and tastes good.  Once in awhile, I enjoy a few rounds at an "all you can eat" set up where I eat a small amount of everything I like.  

     I have found that straight bar barbell arm curls require more strength and energy to do than do preacher bar arm curls.  So, I've decided to work awhile with the straight bar.

     Ok, my body was pretty much worked out before I tried a few rounds of barbell chest presses at a flat bench.  I didn't plan to do them, but just added them in at the spur of a moment.  I wasn't able to do 70kg, so I lowered the weight to 40 kg.
