Training Day Two Hundred Sixty Four

I didn't have a good start this morning as the stress suddenly hit me. Last night, my girlfriend came home with car trouble. Apparently something was lighting up on the dashboard and we learned from the instructions manual that it had something to do with the brake system. This morning I called the local car repairman and unfortunately they closed at 1 o'clock. This meant that I had to get the car there before heading off to Halmstad for a lecture. Unfortunately my girlfriend had borrowed my car and was carrying her car keys with her at work. I had to phone my parents, hitch a ride to my girlfriend's work, get my girlfriend's car keys, drive my car to the repairman, get a ride home and then drive her car to the repairman, after which I took my car back home again. Yes, it was a mess, and in all of this I had to do my morning walk before hopping into the car for a 30 minute drive to Halmstad, where I needed to spend the entire day. Luckily, I had packed most of my bags last night, which meant I could speed up the process this morning. On a more sad note, I've now received a call from the repairman and this issue with the car could cost us as much as 5000 SEK (~$775). Not a good start for a Friday morning!

# Workout Notes:
Today's workout was carried out in Halmstad in-between lectures. Seen as I wasn't at my regular gym, I decided to try out some new stuff. This meant that I, for the first time in ages, tried out the good old chest exercise Bench Press. I wasn't really expecting much, and I didn't really get that much either. The performance was okay, but I'm definitely a lot weaker now than I was back when I incorporated Bench Press in my regular chest routine (although, I was also a lot heavier back then). Nevertheless, damage was done to the pecs and I'm definitely feeling it right now. The changes done on the biceps portion of the workout turned out okay - nothing more, nothing less.
