Must be nice to be young.
I came home early from work, drank 2 beers and flopped on the couch.

I started 5/3/1 this week for bench. It’s probably time to mix things up for a bit. I had a hard time getting going. I really had no energy. Luckly, the heavy bag somehow feels like it saves things.

Old Guy Silver Back Rant Of The Day: If I ever own my own gym (unlikely), I will ban cell phones. I was the oldest person in the place this morning and as I looked around, almost everyone was on their phone. I get twice the work done, in a shorter period of time, because I only use it for music and to measure my pulse.

I stepped my game up on high rows. I normally throw three plates on there. One of my young guys from work was there and he was on it before me with three plates. Therefore, the old man had to step up.

Nothing serious today. I spent all morning at a state sponsored retirement seminar. As of today, I am one year, nine months, and 13 days away. But no one is counting.

I went way lighter on bench today. Partly because none of my normal crew was there to spot. Partly because I think I just needed it. I’ll load up again next week.
I need to get back into handstand push-ups. I think when I am doing them, I get better gains.
