I was pretty pleased with the training. I was sore Sunday night which is always a good sign. Trying to get the cardio back in. I was planning for complexes today but I slept like crap last night so i rolled over at 4 am for 2 more hours of sack time. Tomorrow is high rep bench assistance day. I’ll try for some sleep tonight.

Nice work. How does the grip feel?

Happy Birthday…

Dateline: Tuesday 5:24 am Bench accessory day

Decline Bench (wide grip): 3x155x15
Hammer incline: 3x55x15
Cable X-over: 30x30, 2x40x15
OH triceps ext with rope: 3x110x20
Treadmill interval: 12 minutes

I made all my bench and hammer incline reps. Going to raise the weights 5-10 lbs next week. Everything else went OK. Tread mill intervals are killing me. I have been so slacking on the cardio and now my britches are getting tight. So I need to get that under control as well.

Had a follow up appt with the hemorrhoid Doc. He was checking me out after my whooping cough out break. He said I was his first patient in 33 years of practice that coughed up a lung and out a hemorrhoid at the same time. All went well took my finger wave like a man and didn’t feel 2 hands on my shoulder and something up my wazoo at the same time… Nothing like waiting in line for a finger wave!!!

JW’s morning Doctor quote: Doctors are the same as lawyers; the only difference is lawyers merely rob you, where as doctors rob and kill you too.

Too much finger waving for my likin’…i’m all puckered now!!!

Nice work. Things are really coming along.
Sorry about the…uh…invasion. Part of the indignity of maturity, I guess.

Wilson, I was just churning through the channels and saw an advertisement for “Swamp Loggers”. It, apparently, is a series about the loggers in the North Carolina swamps. Heard anything about it? Anyone you know?

Raising the weights on your workouts, good. Making me clinch up my ass cheeks, bad.

Yep OG, too much finger wavin’ for me.

Skip, I’m beginning to think I’m getting all the truths of being 50 at 49. I hope this isnt what Harry is talking about. I have been watching Swamp Loggers. That takes place around Wilmington NC way south of us. Mr Goodson is a heckuva good guy and logger. When he works up north we have gotten some of his wood in times past.

Making me cinch my ass cheeks is bad too Harry. Please tell me this isnt the enlightenment of 50, a year early!

Dateline Wednesday: 4:23 am Back day

Squat warm up: 145x20
Bent row reverse grip: 185x15, 185x12, 185x8
Hammer Low row: 3x55x15
Lat pull down: 3x105x15
Face pull: 2x90x20
Treadmill interval: 10 minutes

Boy am i a dumb ass. For some reason I thought 3 sets of 15 with 185lbs would be easy. WRONG! After that humiliating experience I was glad no one was in that part of the gym so early! Breezed through the rest of the work. As usual the treadmill killed me. TOMORROW I am going to try to do some complexes. It’s not like there is enough in my life to torture me.

JW’s morning thought, since he is hungry: Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he eats them.

Hey!!! How come mj hasn’t killed you for not doing 5/3/1?

Joe, since I languish in the murky backwater and training underworld I have slipped past MJ’s watchful eye. Out of sight out of mind… haha

I don’t think anyone would have noticed if you had 50# or 250# on the bar for your bent overs. They would probably be trying to figure out what you were doing.

And I can’t think of any upper body exercise where 185# is “easy”.

pay attention, I threatened to kill and eat him nearly 2 years ago

Happy (really late) birthday!! You don’t look a day over 35. Kick ass with the complexes tomorrow.

WELL SHIT… Didn’t get in from the daughters ballet rehersal until late. I just turned the alarm off. I’m such a wuss. No complexes this morning.

The good news is there is a 5 a.m. tomorrow morning as well. :slight_smile: And you have your priorities straight.
Your little girl sure has a lot of irons in the fire.

Dateline: Saturday 5:16 am Bench training

OH Squat: 95x20
Bench Press: Barx20, 135x10, 185x8, 225x5, 4x240x4, 275x1, 190x11
Dips: 2xBWx8, BWx6
Incline Bench Press: 135x10, 155x6, 175x3

Treadmill interval: 11 minutes

Tried the OH squats on a lark. Actually the bar was set in the top pins on the squat rack, and I was too lazy to reset it. All the weights felt heavy today. I just didn’t have any gas in the tank. I guess those days happen to me more than I’d like them to.

Getting ready for the daughters ballet recital Gotta run to the florist for the bouquets.

JW’s morning not so funny thought fresh from the WSJ op ed page: “When you ask a government far away in Washington to handle everything , it will handle nothing well”…

Dateline, Sunday 5:23 am

Squat warm up: 145x20
Kroc row: 4x110x6
Hammer low: 3x105x8
Lat pull downs: 3x150x8
Face pulls: 3x120x8
Shrug: 3x360x8
Treadmill interval: 12 minutes

Tried to push a little bit this morning. Krocs and me are going to be a never ending fight. I don’t think my grip issues are ever going away. Everything else went OK. I’m really happy with the workout after a sleepover, ballet recital, signing bank papers, swimming in the brown water river, and cooking bacon wrapped hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill. I was good, didn’t drink a beer… Hell in retrospect, no beer is kind of depressing!!

JW:'s morning thought: When I left home for college, Mom said “Don’t forget to write.” I thought, “That’s unlikely. After all, it’s a fairly basic skill.”

Lookin’ good Wilson!

just a suggestion - back off on the weight for the Kroc rows and go for 20+ reps

and “no beer” is depressing…
