350 was a bit rough. The first rep was super easy. I was off on the second rep for some reason and needed a slight bump to complete it. I’ll do it again next week, so I can get it clean.

The 17th push-up was really a falling over one. I do them upstairs in the house, so it was pretty loud when my fat ass fell over.

I got off work a little early and hit the public gym. It was early afternoon, and no one was there. It was kinda nice.

Time to build up again. For sure I am weakest just off the floor. I am going to keep working in deficit deads. Pulling against the band gives a different feel as well.
Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

The goal for today was cardio, to work off what I did to myself yesterday.
New young guy at the gym rant: The guys who have to film everything. He even had a tri pod for his cell phone, so he could film himself doing leg curls. I guess I get it if you are going for a PR, or something else spectacular.

The benches were being occupied by dudes on their phones. It’s been a long time since I did a just pick up random stuff day. It wasn’t too bad. Hopefully I can bench tomorrow.

350 was solid. I probably should have gone for three, but I was so focused on getting two clean reps.
Several weeks ago the gym installed a heavy bag. I used to mess around with boxing training probably 30 years ago. Last night I purchased some MMA gloves. The bag is good for conditioning and stress. I’ll try to work my way up to multiple rounds. With the way my pecs were feeling today, one round was plenty.

The garage was way too cold today, so I hit the public gym. I almost did not hit the bag today. The guy on it before me was in his 70’s, smaller than me, but ripped. He clearly knew how to fight and hit the bag. He looked like he could do some damage. Once he moved on, however, I did my thing.
