I haven’t been around in a while. Hope you are well little chicken.
Hi Simo! Doing okay. Hip is almost back to normal and trying to work up to training 3 days a week. Made it two last week and got super busy. Hopefully I will get back on track this time. Thanks for stopping in!
Squat
2x5/bar
1x5/65
1x5/75

DB BP neutral grip

Ring rows

A few walking lunges
A couple chins
Very hot drought conditions plus a wind storm in town are making extra work right now. If I have to help a guy pull a water well pump this weekend I will probably only lift twice, today and Wed. We will see.
Have not checked in for a while - some good work being done here.
Good to see you back to working out regularly.
Chicky are you ok? Long time since we saw you around here…
Still alive and kicking. Thanks for checking in!
Alive and kicking but are you deadlifting?
Unfortunately no. My 91 yo had some medical issues and then there were the 17 wildfires. So, I have once again fallen off the wagon. ![]()
Is your gym air conditioned?
Nope
Woof, you week’s temperatures are 8-10 degrees hotter than here, and you have lots of humidity, too! To help my motivation this week I’m actually doing what I WANT to, including deadlifting twice in one week! The madness! Haha. Along similar lines, maybe if you mirror ActivitiesGuy’s style, picking 3-5 lifts you enjoy and doing just them - 1 or max 2 during a cool time of the day - you’ll find your motivation again.
It’d look something like deadlift one day, bench the next, rows and curls the next, deadlift again but with a different bar/ grip/ something, and so forth. Keep the sessions to 15-20 minutes max and do what Thibaudeau said in an old article for people with very little time to train - lift just enough so you feel like you’ve exercised, but leave the gym/ shed/ garage feeling energized and refreshed instead of drained.
looks like great tennis weather
Train early before the sun is up!?
Thanks TnT! I know I need to get back at it. I am trying to talk myself into it.
Yeah, you are tougher than I am.
1,000 mosquitoes liked your post. … lol
I used to do that, just haven’t in a long time.
or more stupid.
@QuadQueen didn’t want to clog the up the book thread. I did finish this guy while listening to Red Phoenix. I am an audiobook whore… lol I will listen anywhere/anytime. I like to sit down in the evenings and play/create something and listen.
