It's been a day of studying today as I started the morning with hitting the books. After that, it was time to head to work before I finally got to set my foot at the gym. The evening, once I got home, included a very pleasant surprise, which I'll post more about later. In any case, here's today's training entry!

# Workout Notes:
I've been thinking about trying out some new routines for my calves, which was the reason for the new Tibialis Anterior exercise. The exercise that I was inspired by can be seen in
this video. However, once I got to the gym I had forgotten exactly how it was executed, and therefore I decided on doing a different version of it. In my version I was hanging vertically with my feet floating above the floor as I was holding the dumbbell in-between my feet. During this position I executed a dorsiflexion with my feet. The exercise didn't turn out that well, but I will improve on it and try the version seen in the recently
linked video.
