Chest Day

     Chest day today. Was not feeling super energized so I decided to hop on the treadmill. I used to never do any sort of cardio before a lift because I was under the impression that it would hinder my ability to lift heavy weights due to energy expenditure. I can happily say that this was an invalid concern and that I had a great workout after running a mile. Oh, let me also mention that I ran it in 6 minutes and 15 seconds. I haven't been able to do that since 7th grade.
     Anyway, it wasn't hard and got my blood flowing. I felt more energized and ended up doing the workout below. It was fast-paced since I needed to get in and out of the gym quickly.
