Day 2. In the Gym - Shoulders and Arms.

Well after yesterday's fiasco of "i am going to do everything-ness" i decided to peel back the superman persona and do a normal routine.

Please let me know what you think of these weights. Am I on track?

Today i also bought a container of "super nos blast" which is a discount version of the product No-xplode they sell at GNC... It is a NO booster that has a bunch of other stuff in it. It gives me power in the gym. I've used it in the past, and it works well for me. It also has creatine in it, which i am taking anyhow.
Take 2 scoops, mix with water and drink half 30-40 minutes before the workout, then the rest during the workout.

This is what the workout looked like today... I actually used my ipod touch for these notes as I was working out, then emailed the entire thing to myself. Me likey technology!
