Sorry about the bruised heal Shane. That must have been a hell of a grilling session.
J/K. I know that hurts. I’ve been there… Way to work through it. Really good numbers on Incline DB. The DB lat raises also stood out to me. The dips are just starting to become normal at this point. ![]()
Thanks Trent. Yeah, I ended up having to jump in the pool to get my son and nephew to stop fighting. Crap thing was the pool was only three feet deep where I entered. Ouch, lol.
The DB laterals are about to get swapped out to a more controlled lateral raise next week.
Now you’re talking!

That’s it. Did a little different ride today. Higher intensity and more out of the saddle work.
Heck yeah man! Nice pace on that one! Usually for higher intensity rides my pace is slower. You are an animal! ![]()
Thanks Trent! I am trying.

Good looking session. Sorry the squats were bugging you. It is weird that step ups don’t. Maybe they are more quad dominant? Maybe load up a barbell and do those instead?
Thanks Trent. It is odd. It might be a load and position issue. Idk.
Going to keep trying to find things that don’t hurt and do them until squats don’t hurt. ![]()

Hell yeah man! Very strong on Bench! The rest was strong too. First time I’ve ever seen you break even on calories. 3,900 Calories would be like Thanksgiving for me. ![]()
Thanks Trent! Bench moved pretty well today. I was hoping to hit 12 but ran out of steam at 8.
3900 calories at Thanksgiving? Those are rookie numbers man, you gotta get those up. ![]()
Going back for seconds this year and will drink beer while I cook just to make sure the numbers increase. ![]()

Headed to church and last day at the pool this summer. I can’t believe this summer has come and gone.
Going down to the beach next week for our annual end of summer beach trip. Then the pool time is officially over and fall stuff starts. This year is flying by.
Edit to add, Go Falcons. My boys better not lose at home to those Panthers today. @TM79
Nice job on that Peloton ride Shane! That’s a great pace for that duration! ![]()
Man, I was just sitting at the pool this evening with a ton of neighborhood friends and thinking how cool it was that they keep it open through October here. Sorry they are closing it down for you guys. It was the same way in Raleigh so I can relate. Based on the game today, I’m not going to be blocking off any Sunday afternoons for a while so hitting the pool and beach should be a given. ![]()
Thanks Trent. The pool gets a lot colder once nighttime temps fall into the 60s and ours was actually pretty chilly yesterday so it feels about right to shut down soon. I wish it was warm enough to stay open another month.
It’s hard to say how good they will be. Lots of good teams yesterday looked like garbage. The Browns beat the Bengals so bad they pulled Burrow out of the game.

That’s it. Bicep is barking. Good time for a vacation coming up and a week off. If I were not going on vacation next week I would have made this week or last week a Deload. Been needing one for a minute. Going to cruise into vacation this week with some lighter work.
Great work on this one Shane. Awesome numbers on deads! My bicep would be barking too. LOL I hear you on the deload week. I’m taking one this week and it was much needed. I extended my cycle by a week or two just because I knew this was a busy week at work and I needed the extra time.
The Browns/Bengals game sounds like an alternate universe or something! ![]()
Thanks Trent. Yeah my whole body is sore. Definitely need a break. ![]()
Yeah, football in general was kind of nutty yesterday. Lots of big blow outs.

Damn I am sore. Left shoulder has been tight last couple week and finally popped today. Not bad, but enough to say stop. Left arm has both golfer and tennis elbow and don’t play either of those sports. ![]()
20 rep sets today to move some blood around.
Definitely going to use next week to do nothing.
