Good Pain! 4 December

By some time tomorrow afternoon, my hair will be the only part of my body that does not hurt! I went into today's workout afraid that my shoulder/neck would act up again and frustrate my performance, yet determined to not lose any ground. There was no problem, and no pain other than the "good" kind. I picked up a rep each on Squats, Shoulder Press, and Pullovers, and added a couple pounds of weight on Shoulder Press and Pullups. That is because some of the weight plates are in kilograms, which translate to odd and fractional pounds, and I don't always remember what combinations I used the last time to get the desired weight. So those were sort of a level-up, but I don't think I'll count them as such.

I dropped down to six reps, from eight, on Curls, but that is due to leveling-up on that exercise. I'm doing those with 232 pounds, which is now, like with Squats, pushing the limits of the machine. It won't be long before I have maxed out there as well, and have to start looking for another solution. That may be easier for the Curls than for the Squats. I can probably find (or even build) a bench with an armrest and use a barbell, whereas with Squats I will need something like a weight cage, or even a gym membership. The latter seems a little silly, if I'm only going to the gym for one exercise. But if I do the whole workout there, what would that mean for "My Total Gym Transformation"?
