Due to the amount of work I had to do for school, I didn't have much time to get workouts in this week, and the only time I spent at the gym was for my classes.  Even this didn't really work out as planned though.

Monday:

Racquetball class.  Showed up early and ended up playing for about 1hr15min

Tuesday:

Weightlifting class.  We had a lecture, which took up the entire time, then  had to get to my other classes.

Wednesday:

Racquetball again.  Played for about 45 minutes.

Thursday:

Weightlifting.  Once more we didn't have time to do any actual lifting.  We had a lecture, followed by a test.

Friday:

No phys. ed. classes, no time to get a workout in.

Since this isn't a game weekend, maybe I can get something done this weekend.

Today I wasn't able to get a second workout in at the gym, so I just did it here at the house.

This morning:

Racquetball class, consisted of about 30 minutes of playing, since the lectures at the beginning were longer than normal.

This afternoon/evening

Planks: 4 for 2 minutes each
Push-Ups: 50 (total)

First off, I've felt really pumped and energetic all day.  This feeling needs to continue.

This morning, after my first (and only) [real] class of the day, I went to the gym to get my daily dose of racquetball practice in.  I brought my headphones and phone with me today, and listened to Pandora the whole time, and it made the 45 minutes go by extremely fast, I thought I had only been played for about 15, even though I was so exhausted.

I found that I was a lot more consistent with my playing today, which is good.  Consistency has always been my problem in tennis, and it's been a problem in racquetball as well.  This daily practice seems to be helping a lot.

After my lab, I went back to the gym to get some lifting in.  Since I didn't feel that yesterday's lifting really did much for me (really, I was just pumped and wanted to train lower body again), I did basically the same workout.

Squats: 5x5 with 135lbs (focusing on really pushing out of the hole, going for speed on each lift, really got my heart pumping)

Rack Pulls: 3x5 with 225lbs

Rack Pulls: 1x8 with225lbs (used straps for this one, my hands were tired. The straps allowed me to really pull with all I had and get a few more reps out)

Excited to see what next week holds for my training.
