M3:D3 Stupidity





Today was my upper body workout.  The No Nonesense Muscle Building plan has me doing supersets of various exercises with just 60 seconds rest between supersets.  It is pretty intense and a very fun and difficult workout to do.  I managed to complete the entire workout in about 45 minutes.  Later in the afternoon I had a nice cardio session.  I did PACE for 24 minutes on the treadmill, but upped the incline to 4.0 for this workout to increase the intensity.

What about today's subject—stupidity?  I am a very impatient person when it comes to stupidity.  I should start out by saying that it isn't about a person being stupid, it is about stupid actions.  I hate when people look at you, admit they know something should be a certain way and then decide to do it completely a different way.  I get so irritated with stupidity and the effects of stupidity.  I just have no patience for it.

    I haven't been in a gym in ages. I used to dig Nautilus circuit machines. I used to best at the leg presses. I guess that would have been my favorite. That and the treadmill with the heart rate monitor built in. I used to play games trying to lower my heart rate after I'd been on it awhile. Some lady yelled at me and said I'd hyperventilate if I kept deliberately slowing my heart rate. Is that true? I just thought it was like a mind game, but it kind of freaked this trainer lady out.

    BTW, thanks for the caliper link. I ordered it without even thinking about it just so I'd do it. Woo-hoo. I'll have "numbers" in my blog. It'll be like I'm a real shredder and everything.
