I found out today that my CI's usual schedule is 7:30-4 not 8-4:30, this actually makes me totally happy, because I've found I'm much more productive in the morning and if I can get to work and get started earlier and then also get out earlier, that works for me! I figure this means my hours will be more like 7:30-5:30 at the worst (likely in the beginning when documentation takes me forever) and so I'll be getting to the gym by 6 at the latest. Good stuff all around.
At the Y today I had to ask two different guys if I could "work in" with them on a machine, meaning "could you please not sit on the machine and text for 5 minutes in-between your 30 second long sets." They both were very agreeable about it, but also seemed surprised to be asked. One of them also re-set the weight to what I was working with after he was done each time - is this something that guys do for each other or was this a "being nice to me because I'm a girl" thing? I'm actually fine with either, just curious . . .
Training today:
Warmup: landmine presses and band pull-aparts
Bench: 8 sets working up to 95#x 5, 5, 11
Accessory: band pull-ups and skullcrushers
Finisher: Burpees. Ooof.
I've had people reset to my weight, and have reset for others while working in. Didn't assume it was a gender thing, but I'm pretty oblivious to that anyway.
