I'm pretty sure I need to push up the weight on any muscle group that I can go over 30 on. When training to put on muscle, I should only be doing about 3 sets of 8, or 24. And since I think I shouldn't be able to lift the weight anymore when my sets are done, I need to push up the weight on those particular groups.
In not so cool news, my monitor is acting up. When I got back from the gym, it got all dim and strobing. When I shut it off, I got a fading green in the center, reminiscent of when you shut off old televisions. Eventually, there was a rather loud pop, and it snapped into brightness and clarity that may actually be better than it was before. So my monitor might be dieing. It lasted pretty well for a monitor bought used for 50$. I've got a smaller one right next to it that can pick up if it has to, but 15" isn't alot of real estate.
I've gained 5 lbs since starting weight work a couple of weeks ago, we will see if it eventually begins to go down again as some of the fat is used up maintaining more muscle mass. In any case, I'm feeling alot better now that I get out and exercise.
