Stay safe and dry my friend.
We survived the storm undamaged and with electricity, but there were a few tornadoes. I saw about a 30+" diameter healthy tree severed and lying across its stump like a see saw. I’ll try to get a photo. Unbelievable.

Found it hard to jumpstart 3 full body workouts per week so something different for awhile. Ordered more gym stuff. Two friends I only talk to on phone now tested positive and have the virus symptoms so that postpones commercial gym return.

100 lb sandbag bear hug carry 120 ft
Replacing alcohol with tomato juice after work with wife might fix half asleep workouts. All dumbbell orders and chains now delivered, but I still really like sandbag work. I’ll get back to the 150 bag.
Crippler’s chain around neck outdoor routines may be in my future, but for now just gonna use them on barbells.
OG, landmines remain a novelty for me.
10/29
50 pushups.
Still felt tired at 4 am despite no liquor for 3 nights. Liquor for me is consistently no more than one jigger full. I may be starting to feel my age?
10/30
70 pushups. I’m fully awake now.

Consistent benching even at low weight seems to be making a difference for these.
