Training Day Two Hundred Forty One

I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but there's nothing new today other than the same old University related stuff and my usual workout. I did, however, on my way home from the University, take a detour and visit my girlfriend. She took the opportunity to accompany me to the gym as I did my hamstrings and triceps workout.

# Workout Notes:
I had an incredibly awesome workout today! I've not felt this powerful in a long time. It wasn't necessarily that I could lift that much heavier weights (even though that was the case) that made everything perfect. It was rather the fact that I had that invincible feeling of euphoria where you just know that there's nothing out there that can get in your way. A slight mistake was made on the 8th set of the Smith Machine Close Grip Bench Press where I was supposed to load 25 kilos on each side of the barbell. Instead, I somehow managed to only add 20 kilos on one side, and 25 on the other. I tried to correct my mistake by doing yet another set with a total of 50 kilos on the bar (70 with the bar included), but unfortunately I think I dropped a rep or two due to the prior mistake. I'm not complaining though, as everything else was awesome from beginning to end!
