Gym was PACKED with resolutioners. They stunk, mostly couldn’t get past the old stale post lung smoke… GASP, GASP, GASP… Gotta wonder what year it was when that smoke entered their lungs? Has it been sitting in the bottom of the lungs for a day/month/year waiting for a forced deep breath? Certainly wasn’t just today…

What a horrible image. I used to have to fitness test new people when I worked in a gym and I could always tell the smokers because they couldn’t do a peak flow test without coughing their guts up afterwards. Yuk.
Glad all is well on the health front. Been out on your bike yet? I’m hoping to get out on mine next week.
HSLP flat bench

A guy was doing oly lifting about 20 feet away.
A resolution-ist takes a shortcut (saved like a whole 4 feet of walking) walks under the end of the bar as it was going up…
I’ve been logging badly, I guess… many sets I don’t RAC the weight, leaving weight at max stretch pausing for a bit then doing next set… mostly when I can do that usually just pairs of sets…

3x3x450 (oops)

FEEL GREAT!
Also figured out that maybe the statin doctor put me on last visit might be impairing strength. SO I’m going off for 14 days and see. Since I’m changing other changes it won’t be deterministic…
The reason for the statin is questionable anyway. Really low total, 153 (I’m usually 170+) but HDL was too low <40. Ratio is not bad. I’ve upped the Omega-3s anyway.

Egads. Statins are terrible for muscles. They can cause aches and pronounced weakness. My mom had terrible, long-lasting effects. But I know they are very commonly prescribed . . .
