It's my first workout of meso 2 today, and I am so excited I think I might burst I never would have thought that I would actually be anticipating the pain of exercise. What a wonderful programme STS is. I'm so excited, I think I might be singing DURING the workout.
I just thought I'd share my excitement
I also recieved my weight bench last week, so now that it is together (Despite my 'fitness' DIY is still well out of my reach. I had to make it twice, because the first time, I screwed it all together wrong ) I can get well and truly stuck in.
Congratulations, Zozo! Last year I felt the same way, both when I bought my own bench and when I got a real barbell LOVE having a real bench! What kind did you get?
It's nice to have people around here who relate to the sheer joy involved in getting equipment that can make a hard workout harder, isn't it
I hear you!! I'm starting Meso 3 today and after taking a week-long rest, I'm totally ready to workout!!!! I'm soooooo freakin excited and I can't wait for work to be over so I can go home and be tortured (I say this in all sincerity, btw ). WOOHOO!!!
I definitely need to invest in the tower, though. Next go-round I want to try all these chest presses with the barbell
I'm glad you all share my enthusiasm. And it does sound strange, but the excitement that comes with being able to push yourself harder, is amazing!
I got a fairly cheap weight bench off amazin (amazon.co.uk though :S) but it's brilliant. Incline presses and incline flys are so different, and soo much harder. I can hardly right his post,my muscles are still vibrating and it was 24 hours a go now that I did the workout!
I can relate to your excitement with your new equipment, too! The first time I did STS I did not have the tower and I am so looking forward to using the tower this time around. I am on my last week of STS meso I and am really looking forward to meso II!
I think I am going to have to get a weighted vest now...always something to look forward to
that is exciting. Wait til you get to meso 3. I loved meso 2 and love 3 just as much. I had a problem with a weight bench I bought though. It's fine for dumb bells, but not for bb's. I can't find one that holds a bb, and dh is looking to hook me up for valentines day. Hey, I like w/o stuff more than diamonds. I need something for bench presses as well as squatts. DH doesn't want me to get the Cathe squat rack b/c if he uses it in the future, he may go heavier (as might I) than the weight limit....Oh well. Just make sure you have a spotter unless your weights aren't going to be that heavy. I surprised myself w/ the strength gains I've made from meso 2 to 3. You will be very happy with yours I'm sure. Enjoy.
I never would have thought that I would actually be anticipating the pain of exercise. What a wonderful programme STS is. I'm so excited, I think I might be singing DURING the workout.
