I am an early morning trainer. My gym opens at 0800 on Saturday and Sunday. I like to get there right at 0800 so I can get it done, and make it to church on Sundays. Today the person who was supposed to be on duty never made it to open the doors. A bunch of us stood around, and tried to call the after hours number. After several calls someone said they were on their way down. No over ever appeared, however, so I went home and was the guy who mows the lawn early on a Sunday morning.

After church and football I made it to the gym. It closes at 1800, so I did not have much time to work. I got done what I needed and made it home again.

Mate that sucks, when t’s time to lift you don’t wanna be hanging around waiting for assclowns to ruin the mood!

1223

At least I didn’t take a pre-workout. I’ve done that before and again no one was there to open. That really sucks.

1224

Been there done that, just not on a weekend.

I woke up with a killer migraine. I’ve found that working out sometimes helps. It feels a little better now.

Crippler, looking strong even with all the things that have been happening to you lately. Those wild fires are scary. I’m so glad we don’t get any of those here in NH.

1227

^Yeah, Crippler, even on a bad day you’re far from weak. Great inspiration here.

1228

Thanks guys. It’s still smoky. They are saying they probably will not have the fires out until this fall sometime. It’s not as bad as it was, but you can still see the haze in the sky.

This was a repeat of last week. At that time I needed a bump on 375 to finish the set. No such help was needed today. I also went back to handstand push-ups (thanks biker). I have not used them since before my meet last month. I’ll add a second set next week.

I think 900 x l0 says it all.

I was kind of tired, so I am not happy with the performance. I changed my reps for bench, just to try something new. I’ll stay with it for a few weeks.

1238

Awesome, we should all be so lucky.

Nice rack pulls too.

1239

well done on the anniversary …and lack of complaining !!! awesome stuff

Thanks fellas. I really wanted to go to the gym, but I like my stuff. I figured the best way to make it to 23 was to skip a day.
