Notes
1- Talked to the trainer about the fatigue issue; he suggested dropping a lift session and replacing with a cardio session for the week. I'll do that, but I have been happy with the rapid progress I have made since starting 3 lift workouts a week. On the other hand, there is no use in getting stronk if I'm too tired to do anything with my newmade muscles ;>
2- I have been recording eccentric reps with ISO in my charts so far; I need to stress that when I note exercises as ISO, I am referring to Eccentric isometrics
3- A funny note about my lack of focus and general derpiness lately. I finished the gym and left...to get to the car and realize I didn't have my keys! Checked with the front desk, and no one had turned them in. Went back and sure as shoot my keys were sitting at my first station...I had been doing the workout without even thinking of taking my keys with me. 10 bloody exercises where I didn't notice I had left my keys behind
4- Signed up with @actifit Monday night, and haven't figured out how to get my weight work reported yet. That is accounted for MORE by my derpiness than any problem with the program. It really looks like a good addition to the Steemchain, so if you are a Steemer interested in fitness, you should check it out!
5- I am way behind the norm when it comes to weight lifting standards at present (https://strengthlevel.com/). I'm not worried about it yet because I was massively out of shape when I started. However, I am in this for the long haul.

I am sure that this machine is for smacking your head on the ground (or the machine). This allows for you to bang your head into something, like a wall, without the possibility of you putting your head through the wall and damaging it.
It would suck trying to relieve the pressure of idiots at the work place, only to cause yourself more pressure by destroying a wall too.
rofl yes that is my technique
but I may be doing it wrong...
