Shane’s Journal

Thank you Trent. You are right about the DOMs. I haven’t done 20 rep squats in a long time. I guess I deserved that one. LoL.

About to head out to Disney. Apparently our place has a gym so I might get some workouts in while I am there. I know I will be up a couple hours before my wife so I should have time.

Nice! I remember the last time we went there. We stayed at the Windham Resort (or something like that…). They had a small gym there and I went a few times. One day I was working out in there when a guy walked in from the pool. He clearly had been drinking all afternoon. He wobbles in wearing nothing but a bathing suit. Sets his beer down and picks up the 20 lb dumbbells and proceeds to knock out one set of about 10 reps of curls. After that “monster lifting session”, he picked his beer back up and walked straight back out to the pool. As I laughed out loud to myself, I imagined that surely the ladies fell down with their legs open at the site of his, now, huge biceps. :joy: :joy: :joy: That is one of the most memorable moments I ever had in a gym/fitness room. Knock 'em dead down there brother! :muscle:t2: :muscle:t2: :joy:

Haha. That’s a great story! Little did he know he gave you a memory for life with those curls. :joy:

Back from Disney. We had a good time but glad to be home. I do miss the weather though as it was beautiful down there all week with highs in the mid 80s and no rain all week. Of course it’s 50 degrees and raining here. :weary: Summer will be here soon and I am sure I will be missing these milder temps.

Disney has some wild rides. I think I scared my son for life. LoL. Every ride we rode was pretty intense. We did some space ride where they had optional intensity levels of orange and the green less intense. Of course we went orange, and it was an intense ride. Rocketed into space and hit 2.5Gs and also experienced weightlessness. Pretty cool!

We hit a total of 31 rides while we were there. I need a vacation from this vacation!

Glad you guys had fun! Man, I must have missed those rides??? The only one that sucked for me was the Everest roller coaster at Animal Kingdom. You get to the top and then go backwards for a while. I’m all good going forward but don’t you dare start shooting me backwards, especially with a hangover (like I had that day). Somewhere we still have a photo from that where my wife has her hands in the air, having a blast, and I have my hands on the handle just waiting on the ride to be over. :joy:

Nah, seriously, where were those rides??? Glad to have you back! Nice Peloton ride!

Thank you Trent, it was a great time. The space ride we did was in Epcot and was called Mission Space. Apparently 2 people have died on it. Woman Dies After Riding Disney’s ‘Mission: SPACE’ | Space

It is a pretty intense ride. The other rides I say were intense, were more intense for my son. He chickened out on the Haunted Mansion and decided he didn’t want to ride after being locked in the room where they try to scare everyone prior to riding the ride. Also, the dinosaur ride at animal kingdom freaked him out. He did great on Avatar and all of the Star War Rides and even did good on space mountain and the Aerosmith roller coaster. After dinosaur, all of the indoor dark slower rides he was expecting something to jump out at him.

I hate that we missed the Everest Ride, it was shut down.

Sounds like a fun time. Yeah, I don’t recall the Space ride. Maybe that opened since the last time we went. The Tower of Terror was probably my favorite ride. I remember riding that with my Dad the year it opened (1994-ish?). The last time we were there, in 2015, it was really cool to get to ride that again with my wife. My dad had passed two years prior and that was the first time I had ridden it in 30 years, since riding with him that day. That was very memorable and still my favorite ride.

Tower of Terror was a lot of fun. We begged, bartered and pleaded to get my son on it. It was funny, when the lady at the elevator said that the next elevator would be around to take us to our doom, excuse me, room. My son said, I don’t want to die. :pensive: He did ok though, and it was the only ride he told his friends about at school today so I guess it made an impression.

Good story about your dad. Dads are cool like that. Hopefully our kids remember us in the same way. :slight_smile:

Great first day back Shane! Lot’s of good work put in. Glad that your son got on the Tower of Terror. I have been longing for memories like that with my kids. My daughter is just getting old enough to start remembering things like that but we don’t get a lot of time together (because of my son). Hopefully calmer times lay ahead…

Thank you, Trent. That was a slog of a day. On the BB rows I was wondering why in the hell am I doing these? LoL.

I am sure things will calm down soon enough for your family. :slight_smile: I only have one kid, it always amazes me at people who have more than one.

I frequently think back to the time when we only had one kid. I would work on the house whenever I wanted. I would sit out in the garage drinking beers and listening to old country songs for hours… Each time i think about it I am usually interrupted by one of my kids or my wife yelling at one of us… :thinking: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

That looked like a chest burner for sure. Nice job Shane! Solid work on Decline DB Bench, then a nice drop set. More bench/chest work, then one of your famous 100 reppers on curls. Then, why not 100 push-ups? :anguished: That’s the type of crazy stuff that dreams are made of! :sweat_smile:
