Gym session

I've just returned home from the gym and am feeling pretty pumped, so a good opportunity to blog and have a cup of tea before going to bed.
My weight training sessions are Monday, Wednesday, Friday and are at the moment, fat burning and muscular endurance sessions ie: 2 - 3 sets of 20 reps at a weight that I can get my set of reps out, but not so easy to do. (Did that make sense?) So, for example today's session consisted of: Chest & Back

Bench Press 3x20x45 kg
Incline D/B Press 2x20x35 lb
Seated Cable Row 3x20x100 lb
Bent Over B/B Row 2x20x80 lb
Machine Dips 3x to failure x 78 kg
Wide Grip Lat Pull downs 2x20x55 lb

At the gym, most of the weights and machines are in pounds. The squat rack, and power bench are in kilos, as is the machine dip machine. The gym is primarily a power lifting/bodybuilding gym but they do cater for most. No aerobics classes though... There's just not enough room. they have 3 treadmills, 2 stationary bikes, a cross trainer and a stair climber as well as 2 rowing machines for cardio workouts, so it's all good in that department. They also have a sauna that you can use for the princely sum of $2.00 and showers cost 50c. It's a good gym.

Looking forward to my swim session with Kathy and the squad tomorrow night.

Well, I think I've come down from my gym high and I've run out of things to say, so until next time, GOODNIGHT :)
