Today's Workout: Weight Circuit at Noon

I've really been hitting it hard in the gym lately so I thought I would start posting some of the workouts I've been putting together. I basically type everything out before I go to the gym, print it out and tape it onto a 4x6 index card (so that it's a little more durable) and then take it with me so that if I get tired 1/2 way through the workout and forget what comes next, I have it right there with me! Nerdy I know, but you know me, I plan EVERYTHING =)

So for today's workout, I did a weight circuit with a lot of variety focusing on pretty much every muscle group. I was sweating profusely at the end so trust me, it's a good one.:
