First noticeable thing is that I failed the Barbell Row sets. I got to the final set and then gimped out on the final row. The rows prior to that were awfully shallow as well. The Bench Press was no problem at all, quite easy actually, but the Squats gave me a tiny bit of trouble. It wasn't the weight in so much as it was the form - I had to stretch out really hard for a minute or two before I could even get the form correct!
Another thing I noticed - doing some exercises (Squat and Barbell Row) my gut is in the bloody way. Ha! It's like - I know I have my back perpendicular for the row when my gut is squeezed up between my torso and my thighs. Ugh!
All in all it was a good workout. I'm still sweating actually and I feel that sore/weak after workout muscle feeling all over my body. It's pretty amazing considering it barely took me over half an hour to do the entire workout.
Now my next challenge is finding 1.25kg plates in that crappy gym. I might need to buy my own!
