The Charm of Fitocracy

I've been going happily on this site for a while now, and just can't get enough, and now I'll explain why.

At this minute I'm on level 16, and am 2583 points away from level 17. Like in a game, where you get exp to level up. So I go do a workout (there's a 3 workout max per day, but no limit to how big one workout is) - this time a workout like this:

  • Bent Over Barbell Row
    • 10 kg x 20 reps 29
    • 10 kg x 20 reps 29
    • 10 kg x 20 reps 29
  • Dumbbell 2-Arm Triceps Extension
    • 5 kg x 20 reps 12
    • 5 kg x 20 reps 12
    • 5 kg x 20 reps 12
  • Barbell Bench Press
    • 10 kg x 30 reps 59
    • 10 kg x 30 reps 59
    • 10 kg x 30 reps 59
  • Reverse Crunch
    • 30 reps 50
    • 30 reps 50
    • 30 reps 50
  • Dumbbell Bicep Curl
    • 5 kg x 10 reps 32
    • 5 kg x 10 reps 32
    • 5 kg x 10 reps 32
  • Body Weight Squat
    • 10 reps 8
    • 10 reps 8
    • 25 reps 21 
     
And voilá, I have only 2000 points to go to level 17 and I didn't even break a sweat yet!

I usually try to get about a thousand points  per day, so that I keep up with the routine, rather than just getting to an even number, but now I'm a bit pressed for time, so a whole workout was out of the question. But a short 583 point workout went perfectly well, and I do feel it in my muscles. My arms and legs are slightly shaky...
