Today was about doing the second part of the antagoinsitic routine.
Some thing went wrong, which affected the whole session.

1) I felt entusiastic throughout the day but when I got to gym after work I felt drained and dissapointed that the place was busy.
2) The first thing I did was to try and lift a bar loaded with weights (30kg) , not noticing there were no collars on. First I tried to curl it to put in on high pegs, next I tried to clean it up and the bloody plates fell off ( Died of embarrasment and swore). Thius again affected my whole session.

Given my poor mental attitude i was already facing defeat.

I began squats but felt a lack of energy. Pyramid to 76 kg but still not happy with form.Deadlifts I tried the 44 kg Dumbells but could not manage to retain grip after four reps on sets two and three.

Pull up's were better at a 10 for first set and six on the second.

At this point I still had mental scaring from point (2) so I did not alternate the pull up's with Military press. Instread used the cable machine for overhead pull's (Two consecutive pull movements-not what was called for)

I then went to the cardio room and did 5 minutes on a bike followed by seated fly's and seated curls.

On reflection the lesson is this was not the ideal time to train and having made a faux par, failed to concentrate further and stick to the plan. Hence I cannot make a judgement of antagonistic training until I have stuck to the plan.
