Unless you want to, of course. I know people are often pretty protective with online info.

Today was a regular work day for a few hours, then me & kiddo went to The Purple Gym!
It was mostly just an unfocused walk through and what ever floated his boat. Kettle bells, chest press, a bunch of machines, & finished with a few minutes on the treadmill.
I did some curls, triceps, overhead press, and just random what ever. The place is pretty well equipped, they don’t do the lunk alarm stuff, and there was a wide spread between people with some sorts of disabilities, new years, and some pretty decently jacked people. Overall good environment and not even remotely crowded at 5:00 pm on a saturday.
Lotsa fun.

I forgot to log this past saturday, but We did a bunch of stuff.
Tonight we did a bunch of stuff too.
5 min. warm up on elliptical.
(All of the following on machines)
3 sets of lat pull down.
4 sets of flys.
3 sets of seated rows
4 sets of seated chest press.
Kiddo hit the hip sled thingy for two very good sets of like 12 or so.
The focus tonight was getting in the good quality reps with a nice squeeze and pause at full contraction/extension, followed by a brief talk about the mind muscle connection and the importance of quality reps and movement patterns.
I was feeling a bit wooped, but what the heck- if you don’t want a haircut, don’t go to the barber shop.
Strength & conditioning is definitely a pay it forward thing.

This reminds me of hitting golf balls with my eight year old (now 19). He would hit one, then I would hit one, and we would discuss ball flight, the Venturi effect, air pressure, etc . . . we would split a small bucket and it would take us an hour to hit them. Gold!
Then we would get an ice cream.
The Boy (Cormac McCarthy novel, The Road) is now studying Mechanical Engineering because Physics “is easy. It’s just math and logic.”
I could talk about both of my kids ad infinitum.

Its really an amazing thing to plant a seed and watch it grow.
Kids are awesome.
I stayed down in Virginia with my brothers family while he was deployed to the Persian Gulf. While there I got my one neice a fish tank for her 9th birthday. We took care and cleaned it, fed the little fishes & whatnot. Then she started working at the same pet store once she was old enough. When the time came, she attended Virginia Tech, as a bio major and recieved her masters in veterinary science.
She has gone on to all kinds of great stuff. Seeing her flourish has been one of the greatest gifts of my life.

We don’t deserve them.
My daughter matriculated in pre-vet, is great with animals. Undiagnosed ADHD and Chem (and Calc) cost her a year of out of state school tuition.
Luckily, like she worked her ass off, she found her footing.
It is cool to hear other stories - thanks for sharing.

No good updates on lifting stuff. I’ve been down with what ever bug has been getting everybody. I’m on the upswing today, but I’m just going to play it by ear for a week cuz everybody says as soon as you feel better it smacks you down again.
