I have been moderately surprised at the successes of these farm house workouts at Mark's house, but I still feel like I need to do more, so yesterday I went back to Planet Fitness for the first time in about 2 weeks. I haven't bench pressed in a while, so I decided to give that a go. I warmed up with 5 reps of 235, then 2 of 260. After a brief break where I went and change the direct payment for my Planet Fitness monthly payment, I came back and did a rep of 290, then after a shorter break, I did 305 once. I could tell while I was doing it that I was definitely weaker in the shoulders than I used to be, so I grabbed the 50 lbs DBs and pumped out ten wide chest presses. After that, I was somewhat just making things up as I went along, so I did 20 3 point curls with 12.5lbs DBs, went and did 20 dips, put the leg press machine to 290 and did 50 toe raises, then went back to the bench and did 5 reps of 225 wide grip, and I think I may have called it quits after that, but I do not remember.
I weighed myself afterwards, and after a week of eating absolute crap for 6 straight days (probably 32 donuts, 7 cans of pringles, 9 bags of M&Ms, 3 big boxes of Fudge Rounds, and maybe 2 meals with eggs, 1 of spaghetti, and a slice of ham in there), I weighed 178.8, down 3 lbs from a week and a half ago. I also looked somewhat big and intimidating in the mirrors (but I don't know about in real life). I do have a bit of a spare tire which gives me some slight love handles, but the workouts I did very effectively kept me in good visual fitness considering the crap I was ingesting. This stuff works!
