Had first proper visit to the Edinburgh Leisure gym, working through the program we decided on last week; was bloody hard, especially the cross trainer, the shoulder press and the side plank. Normal plank was actually ok - did the thirty seconds in three sets of ten seconds. The tricep pull was much easier today, I got through the 2x12 sets with the 6.25kg.
When I was doing the chest press, I didn't really feel it in my chest muscles, I felt my arm and shoulder muscles more; dunno why, maybe my chest muscles are stronger than my arm muscles and when they're level I'll feel it in my chest too.
Not really sore yet, although my traps are still kinda sore from Friday and are quite swollen - which is ok cos I can flex them and they look quite impressive (I'm sure this is only because they're swollen). Occasionally feeling a twinge in my back from the back extensions which is why I'm talking myself out of going to the gym tomorrow, but we'll see. Might go swimming at Portobello on way back from uni.
