A puke-worthy workout

Although I didn't actually puke today, I had some close calls!  I'm glad I didn't eat before I went to the gym, because that might have pushed me over the edge.

Today was the first of the Fat Loss III A workout from New Rules of Lifting.  It lived up to it's notoriety.  I made sure I went on Saturday so I could spend extra time at the gym if needed. It was needed.  All together, I spent 1:20 there, which included a 3 minute warm-up on the stair machine.  I think next time, I'm going to drop the weights a bit because I had to take more breaks than was called for.

I figured out that if you add up every rep, I deadlifted a total of 10,250 pounds!  My heart rate averaged 147bpm over that 1:20.  SportsTracks says I burned 648 calories.  Sounds about right!

Now, off to foam roll and stretch!
