Dufisthenics

I have been less than consistent documenting my gym visits lately.  The reason is I am not happy with them.  I never realized that dealing with a hemorrhoid would not only be irritating for obvious reasons but also a motivation vacuum.  When just taking a step can cause you discomfort you find that maintaining focus while exercising is difficult.

Yesterday I made an attempt at a leg day doing a few squats, a few deadlifts along with some leg curls and extensions.  Of course there are warnings that anything that creates strain can be detrimental to my condition so I was conservative.  Plus when I was doing my deep, in the bucket squats I once again felt that uncomfortable pull/weakness in my upper left hamstring.

Today I got to the gym late and again felt my motivation meter reading at red levels.  I muddled through bicep and tricep work, trying to use heavier weight to allow for less reps.
