Tonight the line was the shortest I have seen it since the students came back — probably a quarter of the longest I have seen it. Maybe the novelty is wearing off for the students, or their class load is getting to the point where they do not have time to work out. Whatever the reason, it means less waiting for me. Still, I had a harder time being patient today. I wanted to get to the beer distributor afterwards and I got out too late on Friday to go, so I altered my workout to suit the open machines. I used the inclined raise rather than the vertical chest, which is similar but not really the same, so I was unable to complete my sets. Also because of the difference, I skipped the inclined shoulder raise. I used the Hoist compound row rather than the Nautilus. I had to translate between the weight systems, apparently incorrectly, and was unable to complete my sets there either. I am still stuck at the same weight on the lateral raise, though it is starting to feel a little better, I may be able to finish both of my sets there in the next few weeks.
