Full gym update:
Treadmill: 0.51 miles in 10 minutes on a 9.0-12.0 incline. I started at 4.0mph at a 2.0 incline but switched to 3.0mph @ 12.0 incline after about 3 minutes, then switched to 9.0 incline after about 6 minutes.
Chest presses: 90lbs, 10+10+7+3 reps.
Lat pulls: 100lbs, 3 sets of 10 reps
Tricep pushdowns: 70lbs, 3 sets of 10 reps. My triceps were on FIRE by the 30th rep, but I still did it.
Ab crunches: 100lbs, 2 sets of 25 reps
Leg presses: 100lbs, 20+15+15 reps
I didn't have the strength to get back on the treadmill, so I called it a day.
*OVERALL NOTES*
I was expecting a drop in performance, seeing as I'm a few months out of practice. But I'm surprised at how little my performance fell on the weights. I was still able to do 30 chest presses at 90lbs, which is about what I was doing last time. And my tricep pushdown performance didn't drop at all!
However, my biggest drop in performance was obviously cardio. Last time, I was doing a full hour at 9.0 incline at 3.0mph without stopping. I'll definitely have to get back up to my old performance in the coming weeks.
