Yeah, so, the title says it all. I think I went over all the crap I have going on in my life in my last post, so I won't review it (if I'm wrong, someone please tell me). I will go to work out in the morning (Lower-body day. woo!!) at about five, then I have class from eight to twelve-fifteen, then work from one to five, then class from six to about eight-thirty, probably. After that, I go BACK to the sleep lab to get tested again. Yippee. Oh, yeah, and then Wednesday I will stay all day at the sleep lab to do that nap study thing. Oh joy! What a way to spend my birthday. But hey, I will come home to celebrate and there will be homemade chicken enchiladas. Which makes me VERY happy. And who knows? Maybe something super-crazy will happen and my Manta Ray and Sting Ray squat bar attachments will be here!! Or maybe not.
Ooh! That is something cool to blog about! The Manta Ray is a device that snaps onto an Olympic-sized bar and goes over your shoulders and stuff to help with the comfort of doing heavy squats such as I do. I usually use at least 300 pounds, and that is quite uncomfortable when you have just the bar pushing in on your back, pinching all those nerves and pressing down on very little surface area. Oh, and the bar tends to slide down your back, affecting your technique as well as making you fear for your life. The Manta Ray holds the bar in the correct place and keeps you from having so much fear so that you can actually focus on the squats. We used these at my high school when we squatted during football workouts. They are quite awesome. Then there is the Sting Ray, which I have never used. It helps with front squats, the purpose of which is to really blast your quadriceps. I'm really looking forward to getting these. What a great birthday present!! Oh, and if you're into working out or know someone who is, here's the link: http://www.adfit.com .
So, yeah. Life is all right. I want to go to bed now, but I must get all of my shit together to spend the next day-point-five in complete and utter boredom/loseriness. Peace out, all.
