My Actifit Report Card: Cardio, Triceps, First Bench Press, Snow

Heavy snow forecast today in Tokyo. After work, I head to the gym and was greeted by snow right by my doorstep. The kid in me was happy. The ground was enveloped with soft white fluff that made me giddy and excited. I’ve already seen, felt, and rolled in snow before but it still feels like the first time.

Anyway, the gym was empty when I arrived. I was excited as I planned to start my bench press journey today. And the lack of people comforted me with the thought that nobody’s watching and I won’t embarrass myself. No one saw but I did some little happy dance.

I did my usual warmup and started to position the bench and bar accordingly. I did some trial and error to see where I should align the safety bar as well. Then I started my sets, without plates on the 1st set, and then gradually work my way until failure.

Bench press:
4 bar weight
4 1.25kgx2
4 2.5kgx2
4 3.75kgx2
4 5kgx2
3 6.25kgx2 (4th rep failed)

I was supposed to do some chest flys but I figured I’ll skip it as I did a lot on the bench press. I then continued with triceps.

Tricep Pushdown Rope:
4x2 27kg
last set until failure

Tricep Pushdown Bar:
4x2 36kg
last set until failure

Did a bit of cardio and went home happy.

My friend that’s staying with me for her entire vacation has arrived back at my place. After talking for a bit we decided to head out to go check some grilled sweet potato in the supermarket. Unfortunately, both 2 stores we went to were sold out. But then we decided on the spot we’d buy strawberries instead. I told her about the ramen vending machine and also decided we’d try.

We struggled to get back home as the snow is piling up quick. For some reason it wasn’t that cold though. Maybe because I was too busy playing around while walking and trying not slip 😆

We are now so sleepy while eating the ramen 🍜. My friend wasn’t able to finish her share. We are still talking while eating but she couldn’t endure any longer and ended up heading to bed. I’m trying to stay awake to digest food first. So here I am outside my room building a little snowman ⛄️ but couldn’t stop myself and made a few more 😆 Today was a good day.
