Today was fun. Was still having issues breathing properly, feeling kinda queasy, still blowing my nose every 6 or 10 minutes. Decided to go kick my ass anyway. It would be a week without going to the gym otherwise, and I ain't having that, y'know?

Weighted back raises (Draping myself from the waist down across a bench, raising from the waist up until back is straight with one 25 lb plate clasped on my chest) 30 reps. Breathing, surprisingly, wasn't an issue. Just that steady, insistent, ache in my ass near rep 25 or so. But even that's an improvement from last time, where said ache began around rep 17 or so.

Fingertip Pushups: 10 reps.

Tonight's musics come from the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure soundtrack. Particularly what is known as "Part 2" of the...I think it's a 5-part anime? Basically, it's the theme of the "Pillar Men", or, "Super-Vampire-Statue-Men". It's actual title is "Awaken", as it first plays when one of the Pillar Men calls out to the other two to rise from their stony, chiseled repose. Though near the end of part two, they spam it left and right.

Though my first experience with this track was with Bruva Alfabusa's "If The Emperor Had A TTS Device" series, where it was taken to signify the entrance of the Custodes Trio (Recently, duo), who were basically just cardboard cut-outs of the pillar men with custodes masks slapped onto them. Though I liked the track even then.
