Working hard is key. At work. At being a parent. At being a friend. But life is full of complexity. Why bring that complexity in to the weight room?
Take today. Health in mind. Left over black beans. Left over chicken. Mix and lunch is served. Wife makes red beans and rice for supper, I mix said red beans and the sausage and top some salad girl super greens with the mix. Dinner is served like some Midwestern Taco salad.
The work out. Bench presses. My least favorite of all simplified compound lifts. Just like a push up but with lots of expensive crap to keep from dropping a bar on your neck.
Wide grip on the barbell 30 reps. Good warm up. Dumbells high rep. Back to the barbell with more weight now down to 5 reps. Pull the grip in, add weight, 5 more, grip back out, add weight, 5 more. Add weight. Mid grip. 5 more. Weight. 5 more. Breath. Back to dumbells and rep it to failure. One movement. Many dimensions. No weird machines. Super simple idea. One movement. Change it up as you go. Push hard. Keep moving with little time between sets . NO wasted time. 25 minutes. Plenty of time to get back to complex. Under the weight, keep it simple, keep the concentration, keep the pace.
