Motivation and a short work out

Hello everyone,

Today was a slopy rainy day. So, not a huge amount of motivation to get out side and work out. Honestly, I was not motivated to work out. Of course, I did my morning routine of rotations and stretches this morning, but did not really feel like doing more today. I've been pushing some of my work outs lately, which as we know puts stress on our bodies. This caught up with me today. Last night I didn't sleep well. While we sleep, our bodies rest, recover, grow, and heal. That didn't happen for me, so today, I was both sore and tired.

This evening, my girlfriend and I watched the Julie and Julia movie at the local theater. I enjoyed it more that I thought. Aside from being entertaining, it reignited my daily desire to persevere and push through the obstacle that was before me.

When I returned home, I readied myself and my chosen pieces of equipment. I have been doing push-ups, squats, and crunches almost daily, so today I shook things up. I choose to start off with some quick grip work, followed by running the bands on my chest expanders.

Grip work:
Warm up with CoC guide 10 per both regular crush and reverse crush
Warm up with CoC sport 10 per both regular crush and reverse crush
Warm up with CoC trainer 4 per both regular crush and reverse crush

Work out:
Front pull at attention and back press at attention.
These exercises were super setted. Front pull followed by back press. I started with number 1 resistance and performed 10 reps per exercise. I immediately grabbed number 2 and repeated the process. Same with number 3. I couldn't perform front pulls with good form using number 4, but I performed 10 reps with it on the back press. I immediately picked up the number 5 and performed 10 reps on the back press. I grabbed the number 6 expander for the back press, but only managed to get a couple shake reps.

I did a few cool down exercises after I put the bands up. A very quick work out that only required a little motivation and perseverence. Writting this up required more time that my work out.

Thanks and have a great day.
