Happy cake Biker!
Back to your log CL. Maybe some new animal stories?
Not much to tell in the animal dept. i helped one of my peeps set a coyote trap and she caught a big bobtail! Two/three weeks later she caught amother one, but not a coyote one…lol
They had just about wiped all her chickens out.
Someone please explain what’s point of that cake icon? My birthday’s 6 mo away, and I’m not “cake soft”.
It’s your anniversary day of joining T Nation.
Closer to what?
You sound pretty good and fit
12/15 old gym
warmup kettlebell swings 4 x 20 w/40s, 45s
bench press machine 3 x 10 @ 140, 190, 190
machine cable flyes 3 x 10 @ something that felt like over a l00. ( Indicator read 325. Hardly.)
shoulder press machine 3 x 10 @ 90, 110, 110
machine pullovers 3 x 10 @ 150, 200, 200
Felt good after 3 weeks off. Had reaction to 2nd phase pneumonia shot.
12/18 new gym
Gym owner changed entry codes so I had to use glasses to enter the rather intricate code this morning. Apparently he’s deleting nonpaying members.
glute ham “machine” raises 3 x 10
deadlifts 1 x 8 @ 135, 1 x 5 @ 225, 2 singles @ 315, 1/2 @ 335.
squats 1 x 8 @ 135, 1 x 5 @ 225, 1 x 3 @ 275
preacher bench 3 x 10 @ 50, 70
Lingering soreness from Saturday’s kettlebell work. Did sqiats amd forgot rows and pullups. New gym has superior squat racks and deadlift area. Main reason for new gym membership.

My glasses are my kryptonite. I can’t see squat without my cheaters. Normally I forget them at home, so I am screwed.
Very familiar with the feeling.

Machine pullovers with a nautilus machine?
A Hammersmith machine which mimics the dumbbell bench straddle pullover exercise really well. I understand it is good for chest.
Merry Christmas
12/27
pushups 1 x 50
Strong set
12/28
failed handstand pushups, so settled for 1 x 50 pushups.
Hardly “ settling “ at 50 consecutive pushups.
Impressive.
Unlike you, I can’t do 50 pullups in one workout.
I break them up into multiple sets between each set of bench or overhead press. Lots of sets. No added weight ( I’ve got enough of my own).
