Oh how do I ache. I’ve switched my workout pattern to circuit training alternating with treadmill. So yesterday was circuit training with the Machines of Death (remember, Malki’s Machine of Death is different, don’t get them confused). I’ve been doing 4 sets of 30 reps at 60 pounds for Lat Pulldown Front and Back and Chest Press, then the same pattern with 90 pounds for the Abdominal machine. 

A few days ago I noticed that my muscles were bored with the machines, I wasn’t feeling much in the way of wear-down so yesterday I upgraded the lat and chest press to 75 pounds and the abdominal to 100 pounds. 

Today my chest and arms ache so badly. It’s not the kind of pain that is unpleasant, this kind of ache feels great. Yes, it’s pain, yes it aches, but it feels like I did something that my body muscles noticed. 

I’ll stay with this new plan for a while until I notice my muscles have gotten bored with that load and then increase it again.
