Training Day One Hundred Ninety Six

It's been a rather busy day today. First of all, things are getting kind of hectic at the moment and there's a lot of things to keep track of. Adding to that, I'm also in the process of developing my c-level paper which is slowly progressing forward. Some obstacles are found and they need to be overcome. In addition, today has also been spent working, after which it was time for a meeting. Hopefully, I'm in for a calmer day tomorrow. I need to put my focus on my paper right now - and not necessarily everything else that's going on in my personal life.

# Workout Notes:
Today's workout was improvised. First of all, I knew that I had to recount the weights due to me going to another gym than my regular one. I also knew that there would be no Lying Leg Curl machine. Basically, I decided that Seated Leg Curl would cover my entire hamstrings workout. Now, what I didn't account for was that the Seated Leg Curl machine would be broken. Since there was no other hamstrings machine, and since my lower back can't really handle Stiff-Legged Deadlifts at the moment I decided to use the Leg Extension Machine for working my hamstrings. Basically, I was standing in front of the machine, leaning against the seat and kicking my legs back one at a time in order to target my hamstrings. It worked rather nicely, and, it was better than doing nothing. Gotta work with what you got I guess.
