Today At Gym - 09/01

Today is the first of September and it is spring day. Here in Cape Town it was however a very chilly morning and I definitely did not have much of a spring feeling.

Of all the exercises in my program barbell squats are by far the most difficult of all, with flat barbell bench presses not lagging far behind.

On Mondays I know that I need to do the presses first, and on Wednesdays I must do the squats first while I am still fresh and able to handle the intensity.

Unfortunately the weight pit was a little crowded today and I had no choice but to carry on with the other exercises instead of standing around wasting time. In hind-sight this was a bad decision as I later ended up kinda dropping the barbell on my head during the second set - I still have the red bruise on my forehead...

Start Time	06:17
Duration	65 minutes
Session Type	Strength Training
Session Focus	Chest, Shoulders, Triceps

It goes without saying that I am now a bit afraid of doing bench presses without a spotter. I think next week I am rather going to do this same exercise with dumbbells instead as it is much easier to drop them besides me instead of on my head...
