FORTEEZ

Ok. I gave in and picked up two 40s from TSA. They had the same sale (20%) from when I got the plates in December. It was so good that I couldn't pass it up this time. The total for two came out to not much more than the price of one dumbell from Walmart, Kmart, and other shops.

I incorporated the 40s into my workout this morning. Since I've been doing 15 to 20 reps for the 30s the 40s were a smooth transition. The only problem I had was on one of the inclines cause of my bum shoulders. Lotta stretching is the only way to get around it... well that and sucking it up.

Cheap+Not So Cheap=0

Yep, I'm too cheap. Not only is the dumbell too clumsy it is also too heavy by 10lbs. I should have just picked up two hexes instead.

Anyway, I didn't cheap out too much on supps this time. Trying Glutamine-R now. Seems to be helping my shoulders out since I didn't lose much strength on my presses today. I'll give it a good month or two to see.
