Work is alright. At home, not so much. My 80 year old step-son still greets me at the door, so that’s something. I’m thinking about a summer trip, with my dad, to visit family in France (his birth place). Holidays have been lucrative at work so, maybe my sister can come also. I can do this. I have to do this, for all of us.
But lets keep this about training shall we…or drumming. I need to start playing again. And cooking more, shaving, and searching for ‘just the right tie…’ and pullups/dips. Painting my dining room ect…did I mention shaving already? A sharp blade with extra cream is hard to beat. Wait, what?
…But seriously. It was not a typo. My ‘80 stepson’ is…Jasper The Beagle ! He will be twelve next spring. I’ve known him and his mom for about two years, and I use the ‘80 stepson’ line whenever I can !
And by the way, I would’ve expected you to figure that one out…Brute! Dog lover that you say you are, jeez.
Jasper is one of he greatest dogs I’ve not only had, but have known. Seriously. I think I’ll have at least one Beagle around for awhile. Jasper Jr., J2, Jasper III, who knows.
And Yes ladies…Denver z-man supports single mothers! Wait, what…?
Bulg splits to finish–Drop sets, 10 reps @ 65,55 and 40’s. 2 sets, each leg. Short and sweet…like Jasper.
Hey Kpsnap–I ain’t got no fancy lifting stuff, just Goodwill mainly, but that sounds like a great time. “1st annual Kpsnap Invitational”…gotta ring to it. What part of town are you guys? I’m Capital Hill myself.
Good grief…is there nothing else I could be doing? No, not really.

DB low fly: 4x12@ 40’s

Cable crunch/ chins: 4x15@75/ 4x3 chins with holds at top
OHP rep (just 1 rep) took about 15 seconds. Pressed it…got up 1/4 and stopped, lowered to my shoulders…tried again, 1/2 way and stopped…lowered again…took a couple big breathes…And Up…Locked it out !..on the third try. I didn’t rack the bar until I hit it on the third push. Added these in towards the end of the workout; being fresh might’ve been helpful (!).
Warm SQ–2x10@155/3x5@185
BE–5x5@135
DE–5x5@225 (smith)
misc. band work in between
Lying Curls: 4x15@ 80
Alt with Seated Calf: 4x8@ 90
Squats: 3@185,225,275/ 2@285/ 1 @ 295...315 (pr)...Missed!@ 335, got loose in the hole, dang it all. Really should have had that rep; just got away from me.
I started training again about 8 months ago, after 4 years completely off. So as of now, 315 is my max. Not REALLY chasing max weight in general, but as a measuring stick, there I am.
Back Sq-- 315
O.H. Push--175...Bench? Deads?...find out soon, just for the Heck of it.
Front SQ --3x3@205
And now, to work on Thursdays set list and training plan…
yikes.
