It was a pretty decent Saturday workout. I mostly crushed everything, but I wussed out on the backoff set on the Bench Press. Not surprising as my arm strength is pretty bad I guess.

The wife came with me to the gym today. That's her second time in a week. I'm hoping that she will stick with it as it's kind of fun to go together!

In other news, I'm also looking at an alternative workout plan right now since I will be off of work starting from the end of the next week until after the holidays, giving me a good 6-8 weeks likely of either free time or mostly free time (other than the odd hourly consulting job).

The ideal plan will have me going to the gym 5 days a week, probably using some sort of bro-splits style programming to make sure I can work out every muscle group twice a week. That's right, I'll be looking at a body building program instead of a strength program. I figure since I won't usually have the time to invest so much at the gym, I might as well make the best of the situation.
