So I just got back from our company movie outing to see “300.”

….

It’s amazing what a visual impact 300 sets of super toned 6- and 8-pack Spartan abs marching toward you on a big screen can make.

And not a single pair of chicken legs attached to said abs, either.

(Hooray for revealing red wool cloaks and studded leather spankies!)

If they released a 300 workout / nutrition book tomorrow, there would be a lot of guys sneaking off to the store to get it, methinks. Heck, I’d buy it myself.

Just for the articles, of course.

I really want to lift some heavy things now.

And drink a protein shake.

That is all.

===========================
TODAY’S WORKOUT
===========================
- Physical training session (Combined upper/lower body circuit x 3)
1) Combination shoulder raises (3×10 @ 7.5 lbs)
2) Side-to-Side alternating bench step ups (3×12 each side)
3) Standing alternating shoulder press (3×12 @ 20 lbs each side)
4) BB Plie’ squats (3×12 @ 95 lbs plus 10 second hold on final rep)
5) Bent over posterior delt raise (3×12 @ 7.5, 7.5, and 10 lbs)
6) Mary Catherines (3×12 each side)

- TT Intervals (Stationary Bike)
Level 8-9 / Level 11-12 (6 sets plus warm up and cooldown)

Notes: I did get my TT lifting workout done last night and have finally managed to do 8 chin-ups! Rawr! I can’t wait to hit 10–maybe when I’ve dropped a few more pounds.

I seem to be stronger in the evenings after a full day of clean eating. Morning lifting and running is always noticeably less peppy for me.
