Hamstrings normally take a bit in my opinion.
This one was @#$%^&z from unracking a l00 lb dumbbell Friday. Felt something twist in leg. Drove 100 miles Saturday and thankfully no pain. I will say the woman I met on the trip was worth any pain.
I keep thinking if I can strengthen it through heavier lying leg curls…

I’ll just say she was hardly the school marm type. Great time, we’ll likely go out again. No more marathon tv. Divorce final in 2 weeks. Looking forward to that.
Over last several months I’ve heard stories from friends about my wife revealing a side of her I never saw or was just too enamored with her to notice.

Really liked this workout. Last week’s left me almost pumped all day.
Resumed creatine usage after a few years’ layoff.

Creatine will help. The conference I attended last week was about wellness. One of the speakers talked about spirulina. He said it was a super food with a ton of good things associated with it. I did some research and purchased some over the weekend.

Who gets to the gym at 5 AM but us?
The members of our lifting fraternity know 5am workouts help negate effects of a bad day, increase quality of homelife, and better sex. Better sex is the elephant in the room.
