Things came together better today than on Tuesday. I was able to complete almost all of my exercises and back-off sets. The one that is giving me the problem is the Overhead Press (as usual). There's just nothing for it - my upper arm strength takes a long, long time to build.

I think I'm going to buy a jump rope and start doing HiT training with it. I'm going to go look after work today at the sporting goods stores.

My current contract at work ends fairly soon (right before the holidays) and since it's unlikely that I'll find a new contract until after the new year, I think next month I might try to spend more time at the gym. At the very least I can add in some more exercises on every day, like lunges and dips and on the alternate days I should try to do some HiT. Jumping rope, maybe swimming.

We'll see, but it's bound to be interesting.
