Today At Gym - 08/20

After reading various topics on the matter I decided that I definitely must include more compound exercises in my workout and started by doing deadlifts this morning. 

Obviously this being the first time it wasn't a piece of cake and made me sweat a lot. I did however really enjoyed doing this exercise and hope to get better at it!

During my session one of the personal trainers also walked up to me and enquired where I got my cool Adidas top as he wanted one like it - thank you Benjine for buying it for me!

Start Time 06:19
Duration 70 minutes
Calories Burned 540 kcal

Most of the machines I use have weight increments of 5 kg which is actually way to much of a weekly increase. I will thus be changing my program around to almost exclusively using free weights, with the exception of machines like the seated calf raises which allows me to add the same weight plates I am used for the barbell/dumbbell exercises.
