I have not reached 11 reps in my first set of dips in sometime. Between the dips, and finishing with the incline curls, I had quite a pump. Still (OK, I am only 10 minutes away from my last set…)
I have no more hearts to pass out today . Just know I read through these and am amazed at the dudes and dudettes who are out there!
I was stiff and sore last evening after my good session yesterday morning. DOMS soreness. I stayed at my daughter’s new home. The guest room has a new bed. I went down about 9:00 PM, and slept until 5:00 AM. Amazing how a good night’s sleep can help reduce DOMS. I still have some soreness, but nothing horrible.
I did the opposite, sort of…great workout on Friday, then Saturday early drove 3 hours to a 2.5 hour dance recital, then stood/sat around eating pizza and ice cream cake for 3 hours before getting back in the car for the 3 hours home. DOMS combined with almost no movement for an entire day…yuck.
Although I slept great last night and all seems recovered!

I was a bit worn last week. Two straight evenings of no sleep kicked my duff. I felt better this morning. I might fish this morning. I caught my first rainbow of the year on Saturday!
Total reps were way up. Incline press deserves an increase in resistance next week.
A long road trip starting today. We used to drive this in a day. Now we"ll probably stop in Lovelock, and finish the drive tomorrow. Hopefully Donner Pass is not busy.
On a side note, I heard In the Ghetto the other day, by chance. I have not heard Elvis in years? I even recalled the first time I heard that song. I was working on a log crew in the Gros Venture wilderness in Wyoming. An AM station out of Saskatoon. The miracle of AM radio. When the sun went down I picked up the Giants games on KNBR.
We have arrived. Stayed in a dump Wednesday evening in Winemmucca. We have a beautiful place to stay here in California to make up for it. And I brought adjustable dumbbells.
Way to get after it on the road! I used to be the king of travel workouts back when I traveled for work. The last time I went out of town I brought one 40 lb dumbbell and my doorway pull-up bar. Got in a nice workout in my hotel room. Enjoy the wedding!
Let’s hope today goes better than the rehearsal dinner. My sister started the beer about 10:00 AM. “To be a little relaxed…”. By 5:00 PM she was darned near falling down. Then, I heard her drunken whisper, " They’re all Latinos!". By 7:00 PM she was pouring herself into the driver’s seat. I told her she is not driving. “I am fine!” She slurred. I said, “Give me the god-damned keys!” What do you know? She handed them over. So, I am guessing despite 100+ °F, things can only look up. Thank you for the thought!
