Not sure why I even blog over here anymore... bad habit I suppose.. Its the weekend... no storms.... I have my girls... I have my workout in.. what will I ever do with myself... Getting close to having all I can take this cycle... my shoulders, elbows, and knees are stating to stay lit up most days... I need to hang in for three more weeks until vacation and then I can take 10 days down... man.. sleep and rest... Work was solid today.. even got a small foot workout in and lets just say I had...

As the world turns... different week, same ole, same ole.. watching Debbie play hell with south Florida this week.. they are talking 15" of rain.. hell thats enough to drown most of the gators throughout alligator alley.. as far as our end, we will get a bit of soaking for a few until she decides to move through.. maybe she will not strengthen that much before she decides to move on..Didn't eat enough this weekend and I could feel it during the work. My batteries were draining off quickly... Go to BodyBlog

I would rather undergo root canals in all 4 quadrants simultaneously without novacaine while having my toenails slowly pulled out with rusty pliers than to ever walk back into a gym at 8 a.m. It would appear the entire Jr. High debate team showed up in the free weight section.. lounging on benches socializing... by socializing, I mean talking about your motha f'ing motha and what they did to her last night... like any one of them has a clue what to do if approached by a woman... they had drink...

Today was just one of those days... I have pushed pretty hard over the last several weeks with this routine and I can feel the wall coming like a freight train. I am trying to hold out a couple more weeks before I deload since we have vacation scheduled at the end of July. I have a couple things I want to attempt before then since I turn 52 that week and that represents the second anniversary of me losing all the weight.. there has been good and bad in that two years but the progress has been a...

Holy friggin sweat factory batman...This morning was work.. plain and simple.. at the end I tried to do heavy burnouts and they didn't even feel right... shoulder was crap this morning during the first set or two because I didn't do enough prep on it. By the time I got around to setting up the CG Floor Press, I decided to move over to the Smith and do those with open hands... I like the way it hit the tricep so these may stay on the schedule for awhile...Warmup stretchArm CrossoversWall... Go to BodyBlog

Sean, may the fleas of a thousand diseased camels infest your crotch hairs for putting front squats on my schedule two days after my shoulder routine....Front squats were a PITA this morning... not because of the weight.. it was fine.. but getting my arms raised and contorted backwards to hold that damn bar brought back every agonizing second from Wednesdays shoulder beat down... something has got to give.. we either reschedule or I have to get a whole lot more limber through my wrist and...

Standing Military Press - 195.. I own it and you bitches cannot take it away from me..On the fence this morning about the routine because we had a new station and I was thinking a lot about it, but once I did a couple sets, I fell right into the rhythm and I decided to add some 185 Dittillo's which turned into a full press which turned into a PR...

Hit the wall twice in this work routine so I think I got my money's worth.. I had people scrambling at the end when I was doing my Smith Splits and the Smith machine started falling apart...

Ok.. so today, I wasn't all that impressed with the 3:30 alarm... chatting back and forth with my daughter last night longer than I should, but sometimes, the important things don't follow a schedule. Lot of stuff going on right now between work, helping the princess get her business up and running, and trying to find enough time left over to breathe... one foot in front of the other I suppose.The leg press ate my friggin lunch today. I made the mistake of trying to superset it with some light... Go to BodyBlog
