That was probably the best I have felt in weeks. My shoulders still hurt, but sometimes you just have to work past it. 345 was a little sketchy. I hit the bench on the way up on the second rep. It’s one of those times you wish someone was there to watch. Once more, however, I finish the rep and cheat death. That’s always a good thing.

I am starting to look forward to Farmers’ Walk Mondays. Biker asked for the chain last week, so I broke it out. It was also 100 degrees out.
Now for a Zoom training for my teaching job. You better believe I am wearing the muscle shirt.
Another l/2 miler. How did chain affect the l00s?
Now If I could just talk you into a 150 lb sand bag…
The chain? I don’t really know. I can feel the weight on my shoulders for sure.

My wife and I enjoyed three days out of town with friends. We even went on a river float. I lost it at one point and went into the brush and into the water. I was lucky that my buddy grabbed my tube. Otherwise it would have been a three mile walk back to town.
It was 105 outside tonight. I would guess it was 95 to 100 in the garage. I have a pretty big fan, so it was not too bad.
That’s a lot of arm work. How was the pump ?
In the words of Robert Frank, “Sick!”
Like Fully Sick bra !!!
105 at night. Sounds like Iraq.
A lot people think Washington is Seattle and cold and wet. We’re in Eastern Washington. It’s hot and dry in the summers.
