No Promises This Time

I just got on Medicare couple months ago. They make you do an annual Wellness thing?

They don’t make you. They’ll only pay for one a year so if you have a Primary Care Provider they’ll make sure they let you know you’re due again.

I suppose one can brag on weather in Alabama when there aren’t any tornadoes around.

Sorry for my absence in here lately. Life has been busy. Glad to see you are still putting in some great work. Nice job on the lifting and glad you got a swim in a few days ago. The medicare appointment story is hilarious. :joy: When the doctor asks me if I am still drinking, the answer is always the same, ā€œas much as I can, sir.ā€ They usually just shake their heads at that as they know that any attempt to lecture me will be a waste of time…

Tried to mark the like/love on your post and kept getting this? I actually miss military doctors that i saw my whole life until I turned 65. view

Started the day at the dojo. Forms, heavy bag, and a little sparring when the owner came in.He asked if I wanted to stay and help teach one of the younger classes. No!
After lunch headed out to the college. Still muddy but that’s half the fun.
hammer
9 single
9 doubles
9 triples
Got cocky and tried a 4 spin. It was ugly and cured me of thinking I could get back to doing it.

Discus - 9 Power position
9- South African
12 - Full rotation

Got all spiffied up and took the wife out to a new resturant a friend of mine’s son just opened. It’s an old renovated mansion (my brother’s company did the renovating) and the tables are set up throughout the different rooms. Had some great crab legs and steak. Wife enjoyed it.

I did edit that post shortly after I posted. Maybe that had something to do with it.

Had to run into town to Home Depot so went ahead and hit the Natatorium first… River’ just running to high and fast to chance it.
45 min swim, mainly freestyle but threw in som breaststroke
2 mi run
Wet coming out of the water, rained on through the run. The rain helped get the taste of chlorine out my mouth. Picked up what I needed at Home Depot and with Costco being right next store found myself in a state of carb, protein, nutrient , etc. depletion. Purchased 2 foot long dogs, garnished them with beaucoup mustard, onions and relish and scarfed them down mosh kosk. Good day.

Nice work in here. You have some strong lifts. Zercher squats always looked like they were more painful than they were worth but maybe that’s the lure of them.

Strong benching on that 275 3 x 3 sets.

You can’t go to Costco and not get a hotdog.

First started doing Zercher’s back in the day. Competed in the Highland Games and they were great for the Caber Toss but did them from the floor up then. Haven’t been doing legs and just starting back.

That’s probably the best reason I have ever heard for implementing zerchers. :+1:

Nice pressing today!

Got in a real good day of throwing. Good thing I went early cause more hard rain in the afternoon.
Still trying to decide if I’m going rotational or kick in the shot. Might just follow Oldfield’s advice, ā€œold men should just skootā€. (Lost? That’s okay. I get that way reading a lot of the logs on here.)

Shot -
Overhead toeboard throws - 9
Power position- 3
half turn throws -6
Kick - 6
full rotation -6
(not much difference in the distance between kick and rotation)

Hammer -
1 spin x 3
2 spin x 3
3 spin x 9

Discus
Power position x 6
South Africans x 6
full rotation x 15

Long workout but the distance is starting to improve. Different age category this year and may just get the one meet so looking at shooting at some records. If all the body parts hold up.
