LOL, whenever I think that things are going to ease up at work, they take longer than I thought. But I have still been working out and making progress.

Unfortunately, I have been not so good on...

Wow, serious lack of updates, been overwhelmed with work. In a good way, some exciting stuff. Just very little downtime at the office, and at home been busy with Halloween activities, and watching...

In for the ensuing insanity!

Hey Sharon, just checking in. Workouts continue to look good. For me, whenever I start going to a higher rep range, I feel like I work more, in terms of breaking a sweat, which I like. But as far...

Last night I played tennis for a couple hours, not much to report there, other than being sore this morning a little bit. But not going to keep me away from the gym!

Squats (recovery)
45 x 10...

I know with rattlesnakes, the smaller ones are more dangerous because they're younger and basically release all their venom whenever they bite. Adult ones are more judicious about how much, if any,...

I think that it's not a bad weight considering you haven't been lifting all that long, and you'll get better at it if you stick with it, for sure. Just harder if you don't enjoy it, obviously. You...

Actually, I take nothing except water before and during, most of the time. I try to hit the gym on my way to work, and wait for after to eat breakfast. I've thought about using some sort of...

Haha, yeah, there are definitely some that I only ever notice on the bench or doing curls...getting their beach muscles taken care of. Used to be me, so I try not to laugh too hard.

Right now I...

I haven't adjusted it specifically for this program, although pretty quick I think I'm either going to stall on the progression or have to up the amount overall I'm eating. What I started to do...

Heh, nothing like a little 6+ mile run when you're feeling poorly.

On a different topic, you've done both CGBP and the rope pushdowns for triceps. Which one do you like better, as far as how they...

Thanks! Yeah, the program is set up to either set a PR for amount of weight or reps for squat, bench, and barbell row, twice a week. As long as I can handle it, I'll get to set lots of PRs :).

Hey BTK. Been out of commission thanks to some work and an unfortunate life event (no biggie, over with now, just required attention). Kept training, though!

Just checking in on midpoint week,...

Yeah, the pastor talked a lot about that. He read a passage talking about the fact that we're granted 70 years, 80 if you have a lot of strength, and here she hit 100. And pretty much with it until...

Catching up, looks like things are still going excellent. One of the things I like about completing a workout tired is that it feels great to push through stuff like that, not give yourself an easy...

Or if you don't have a 2x4 handy, you could also use some weight plates on the floor, I think.

Just cardio today. I believe I'll be able to get a workout in tomorrow, but I'm also going to a memorial service for the lady who was like a second mother to me for much of my childhood, so I'm not...
