weights

on my exercise plan it says Heavy weights this morning and light weights this afternoon. Matt said the heavy weights need to be a lot heavier than I normaly do and it should really be a struggle so that's what I did.

On each machine I set it a lot higher than I usually do, to a point I could only just lift it. I usually do 3 sets of 15 on each but there was absolutely no way I could do that. I still did 3 sets on each but they were only of 5 and each time I didn't think I was going to be able to complete it. I certainly didn't go easy on myself. Matt said struggle and struggle I did.

The only one that was different was the shoulder press. I always struggle to do that at all but I did set it at a higher weight than usual but I only managed one set. Well actually rather than one set of 5 it was more like 5 sets of one as I had to stop between each one.

It hurts already. I can feel the muscles aching and I still have to go back and do the light weights and my second swimming session of the day.
