I’m trying to get dialed in. I think 275 and 300 will be my first two lifts. 315 was easy. I’ll jump to 325 next week.

It must have been the time change, but there were only two other guys there this morning when I arrived.

I wanted two more reps of 385, but it was not happening. I reset a couple of times and got it to my mid-shin each time. Still, I’m ok with it. I think I am not track as of now.

There was mild rainfall tonight, but it was not too bad. I dopped weight today in exchange for distance. This might be my last Weighted Walk Wednesday until after the meet.

I think I may have strained my right bicep doing pull-ups. We’ll see what it feels like tomorrow.

Looks like a good plan…hope the arm isn’t too bad.

Thanks. It’s not too bad today. I’ll give it a run tomorrow when I bench again.

I was finally able to hit the bag on cardio night again. The kid who thinks he’s Muhammad Ali wasn’t there. Luckily, he was driving in, as I was leaving.

The arthritis in my right shoulder was really bad today. Plus, I have the strained right bicep. I took a couple Tylenol and a bath in Icy Hot, and off I went. Things are progressing well.

It’s been a while since I did the gauntlet. It’s a good way to get started and gives a great pump.

That’s it. I need to head out this morning for a meeting across the state, and it is snowing in the mountains. Off until Sunday.

Drive with care!

Thanks. It wasn’t even a big deal, but you know how it is traveling over the mountains this time of year.

I’m getting closer to where I need to be for the contest next month. I was concerned, because I was pretty sick yesterday. I think I got some bad food at the hotel for breakfast. My stomach was a mess, and I even had a hard time seeing in the morning. We had a three-hour drive home, so my wife took the first shift. I felt better as the day wore on. My vision improved and my headache went away. My gut was messed up until I went to bed. I woke up this morning 100%.

I think I’ll bump my bench up to 335 next week.
