We will keep your log up even when you are gone. Matty and I will at least talk football and how much the Pats suck. 
hugs n klsses for ya
Maybe you should just do lunges everywhere? You know, when you walk to work, or when you’re walking around the set. And then anytime you pick something up, just press it like 15 times.
Stay busy my friend!
J-E-T-S jets-
did I get it right?
Dj- thanks man- just no fantasy football talk please.
DJS thanks good to see you too.

Notes.
wiped out today- no suprise there
felt ok after a TON of activation and BB complex
added a few rounds of BB complex to get warm
should add a few sets at the end of the day too
wanted some spin bike tabata ran out of time
lots of cleans felt good
I can resist with proper bumpers
caught a bunch low , I can catch 185 standing- but catching anything heavier gets hard on the hands
pulls wanted triples , and wanted hook grip on everything but too wiped out from work
Sounds like a long day at the gym. Good on ya’ for getting in when you can. I understand life getting in the way.
ddot- thanks man- that is funny.
some days are super active and very physical
film stuff everything is big and heavy
and others are sedentary- to the point where you need to get up and move.
Dday- thanks man evryone has goes thru it
That was a lot of damn lifting to have deads stuck in there like that.
You’re like a tiny little lifting machine.
glad to know work is picking up, that last lifting day looks brutally long.
Joe thank you it wasn’t that long
frenchie thank you too - I am glad work is picking up
television has been strange this year- its 4th quarter
and I make something like 1/3 to 1/2 my income in the next few months
It wasnt that long a training session maybe an hour and 10 minutes
usually I say mobility- and don’t write it all out.
there isn’t allot rest
the mobility stuff is 10 to 15 minutes
the bb complex takes as long as it is- the work and changing plates.
pretty much the rest is the same thing
not much more rest then changing plates
the A1 A2 stuff - is pretty much super setted- just the time it takes
to move from one to another

Notes
first benching in well over a year-
first the big sucess- pullups- something close to 100 either way
+75 lbs felt good- 90lbs uglee but good rom.
the complex at the end comes from Joe defranco- just 4 rounds felt kinda pukerific
last the bench- figured out why these suck.
I arch - not a great one but I do arch and retract the scaps and keep tight
its driving the traps to the bench that kills my neck
shoulder pain is predictable, and kinda manageable.
Its my neck and head have no where to go- no shifting that I can do in say an OH press
shit to think about.
anyway a good day for pullups.
thanks for looking
I am sitting on a reality show til something like 2 am.
FML.
How did the benchin feel? will it be a mainstay now? plus awesome pullups man, I have actually started doing weighted pull ups again it seems as if the band resistance chins strained my arm…Ill stick with the weighted for a while…
I love pullups between benching great time saver…
sounds like your kinda work is either all on or all off. nice training. i tried those one legged knee things and they did feel good. pretty sure i’m not doing them right yet but good stretch for my ankle and i got less wobbly over time. i figure i need more one legged stuff…
Mattyxxx the pressing itself felt ok
shoulders felt stable- my neck is a mess of pain right now
the pullups where awesome yesterday serious soreness today
I might start benching or at least trying more floor presses etc
lexie - unilateral work is a great for stabilization-
you can google peterson step ups for some other heel touch work
work is either survival mode or its busy busy busy.
for the last 3 years TV has been slow- its coming back finally
Impressive pullups. Your BW + 95. Now you’re approaching my BW. Hope your neck calms down.
training looks great, glad the benching went well
Eco thanks
PeteS thanks man
lets see if I can start to bench again
I cant really raise my arms over my head
from pullups- feels good.
will catch up on people soon.
shooting a baseball show tonight and tomorow
anyone a Mets fan?
updates
this is a pic from the 9.11 mets vs cubs game
was working for ESPN for some baseball coverage.
about 200 NYPD and other bag pipers came out
firemen, sanitation EMS etc marched out
the hole stadium was filled with this enormous flag.
I’m not exactly the most patriotic person
and truth be told I don’t dwell on 9.11
sitting here at work at a freaking ball game
when I’m clearly not a sports fan
in a brand new Stadium
surrounded by voices with my own accent
which is unusual - in public
hearing the bag pipes of funerals
and seeing a huge ass fucking flag being unfurled
needless to say tears ran freely.
this was all book-ended with a reality show on Thurs til 2am
a bunch of Dr. visits on Friday
big weekend of ESPN shoot on Sat Sunday
and I am taking Food networks money Mon and Tues.
Yay work.
first Dr visit was awesome.
Rowan is 33 and 3/4 inches tall and weighs 30.5 lbs.
Yay little fucking Giant.

Huh?
What an amazing picture K. Can only imagine the feeling you had being there.
Glad to hear you’ve got plenty to keep you busy but might be time for a vacation.

Kevin why didn’t you tell me before on this. This is easy. DON"T FUCKING BENCH THEN!
Seriously Kevin is it worth it benching to really screw up your neck to the point of permanent nerve damage and weakness?
Alternate execerises.
- Blast strap or ring pushups with weighted vest.
- Dips
- push ups - and weighted
Do inclines hurt?
How about dumbbell work?
Hope this helps and did not offend you. Get the athlete out of your head and put in Kevin (coach) and think of ways around the problem.

O-lifter type guy was there doing some pump work

all before I loaded the bar.
I guess im doing ok.
will catch up on everyone at some point.
