    Today students at Slippery Rock woke up to a cold snowy day. The students were thrilled when they were emailed by the school and heard about the delayed schedule. Other students and myself included went back to bed because the new delayed schedule pushed your classes back about 1-2 hours. Another thing Slippery Rock did was make the classes only 35 minutes instead of 50 minutes. The only downside to this weather and the delayed schedule is its too cold and it can make driving to class unsafe once we really get into the winter and the schedule pushes back classes and if you have to work or do something your delayed class might get interrupted, for example I had my one class pushed back one hour so then I had to leave early in the middle of class to go meet with my advisor instead of sitting through my whole class. Im glad the school changed things up this year and added the new delay schedule.

    I too slept in during this two delay schedule. It was nice to be able to wake up to the email notifying me that classes were pushed back 2 hours. I also enjoyed the shortened class periods. I used the extra time I had to catch up on some homework and studying. The snow did make the roads hard to drive on in certain parts. I was extra careful driving to campus.

    I was surprised when I woke up and saw the email for a delay. Last year I think all there was were cancellations or nothing, so seeing a delay was surprising but nice. I also slept in some after seeing the email. Since I am on campus, I did not have to drive in, but normally when there is a heavier snow in January or February, it makes walking not too much fun. The fact that it snowed enough to get a delay in the middle of October was pretty unexpected to say the least.

    When I got up and received the email about the delay, I was astonished. Last year, I believe it was all cancellations or nothing, so seeing a delay was unexpected but welcome. I also slept in after receiving the email. I did have to drive in because I don't live on campus, but when it snows heavily it makes walking difficult. The fact that it snowed enough to cause a delay in the middle of October was, to say the least, unexpected.

shoulders and arm workout

       For October 24 I completed a workout at the arc. I trained my shoulders and arms, I started with some warmup movements to activate my shoulders especially my rotator cuffs. The first exercise I started with was dumbbell shoulder press I did 4 sets ranging from 6-10 reps. Next workout I did was seated lateral raises with dumbbells also 4 sets but the reps were increased to 15-20. Another workout I did was rear deltoid flies with the cable rack. Lastly I did front raises with a straight bar 4 sets till failure. After I finished up shoulders I then did some triceps I did rope pushdowns with a moderate weight and 4 sets. Next was single arm tricep pulldown 3 sets of these.

Pull Day

 I did a pull day today at the Arc. I did 6 different exercises, but I started with a warmup where I just did some arm swings. The first two exercises were kind of paired together so I started with pull ups then went right into rope pullovers and I did this for 4 sets. I then did machine rows which I did 4 sets of as well. The last thing I did for back was another seated row movement which I did for 4 sets. I then started my biceps I did 3 sets of 35 pound dumbbells. After that I did preacher curls with drop sets where I would put on 2 45 pound plates then take one plate off after I hit failure with the first two plates. I would then proceed to go to failure again with one plate, I did this 4 times.
