Notes and Observations: I should probably sit and think about how/where to increase weights. Part of me wants to keep to maintenance mode. But then I saw a gym regular, who I’ve nicknamed Martha’s Mom 1, on the bench press, lifting about as much as I usually do. I thought, hell, if SHE can do that, then I can certainly do more than that. But then I thought, way to go, Mom! (MM1 has gotten this nickname not because she rows for MM, but because in my crazy weird mind I picture her fitting in well with the MM crew. MM1 has a workout partner who was not here today, MM2, I call her).

This is more true if you are on the erg next to me. Lucky for L.A. Fitness members I haven’t been on an erg for months.

Music: John Mayer, Battle Studies (I love the song ‘Assassin’)
