Great Way to end the week

So yesterday I took a day off for some rest which was needed. I find that if I workout every day that eventually I burn myself out, so taking time off is good for me wanting to succeed.

Well todays workout was with my buddy who pushed my ass into the ground the other day. Those types of workouts are great. Working out with a buddy does a couple of things for me - 1) allows me to lift heavier weights and 2) he doesnt let me slack during workouts.

We worked mostly lower body, some upper body and cardio. The only problem is that my right shoulder is still very sore, so I couldnt lift the heavier weights with my shoulder.

Damn. Nice.

So, how do you feel after the fact? If you're like me, you feel like you just called Mike Tyson a bad name, and are paying for it.

The best part is though, after you do this for a while, your body regroups quicker, and you get stronger. With a workout like that, you're definitely on the right track.

Rob, the sick thing is, is that I'm not sore, only my shoulder.

You are right to take a day off in the week. Working out 7 days a week is not a good thing. Nice workout!
