So weak.

I went to the gym yesterday, really worked out for the the first time in almost twelve years. I went with my younger brother and his friend who works as a personal trainer and is a body builder. They made me go easy, which is good I guess, but I can still barely lift my arms. The work out consisted of two hours of chest and tricep exercises. We performed four sets of ten repetitions on the bench press, the incline bench, the reverse incline, followed by several different styles of dumbell presses for the chest and the triceps. I'd like to say I was on par with them with what I was lifting, but I wasn't. On the bench exercises, I was doing single 35lb plates on each side, where as they started with single 45lb plates, and then went up to 2 for my brother and three for his friend. I feel rather weak, but on the plus side, Will, our body builder friend, says I can lift a decent amount of weight for someone that's been loafing around for twelve years. So I guess hooray for me. Today...I'm thinking fishing and light cardio....
