Getting used to mask. Just pull it down and breathe after each set. Only about 20 in gym until about 5:30 when population seemed to double today.
Storm turned east 45 miles due south of my house which gave us a western exposure and minimal damages. Roof intact, power out only 17 hours, no flooding. Miracle. Wife will be demanding a generator when she returns from her last minute escape Saturday morning to Wisconsin. I decided to stay as long the roof remained and in case of post storm looting. 100,000+ have no power in our parish, entire parishes from gulf to about 40 miles south of us are w/o power predicted to last about 3 weeks to 3 months. Major power feed towers collapsed into river in New Orleans. Son in law took his family to Texas. God we’re lucky.
Crippler, no electricity in my gym’s area, and too lazy to use my own accounted for my 2 week layoff. Plus I was enjoying feeling about like a rock from the previous 5 day workouts.
Felt like 4th workout of week. Guy near me during deadlifts seemed concerned. Saw physical therapist yesterday. Guy’s really smart, his college football injuries steered him to a physical therapy career. His tests confirmed stiffening throughout spine; even neck which was a surprise. After deeply probing shoulder area he made me demonstrate homework exercises. He knows I lift but said he was impressed how easily I got up off floor. I see much stretching in future if I want a lasting benefit.

Not sure if I’ll stick with this workout. May go back to my version of full body but add some of this volume. I really liked the deadlift volume and the leg work in same day. Added 50 pushups a bit later, these were easier than I remember.
Mr. club president, you’re likely doing those 200 lb sandbag carries one handed by now.
Your sandbag work, of which l remain jealous, has undoubtedly increased core strength that will be noticeable in your next meet.
About an hour later. Continuing my initiation into sandbag club, I did 100 lb shoulder carry 110 feet just now, and 30 lb ruck sacked for 1/2 - 3/4 mile. Shouldered the bag from a trash can since I lack a truck bed.

Yesterday PT guy said continue the bodyweight exercises he first prescribed, along with a new one. Forearms braced in doorjamb sides and pushing chest forward is the only one producing soreness. He pushed really hard in my spine and shoulder area, and keeps asking my age.

These workouts don’t quite feel like enough so added the high pulls today and probably change them up next week. I like the arm stuff at beginning of workout.
