SkyzykS's Keep Hitting It Until It Works Again Log

Been laying around not feeling good. I I don’t know if it was some sort of biological warfare, but yesterday/last night my head (sinuses) just started glowing with heat and pain. I sat on the bike and sort of strolled through about 40 min. of “don’t just lay there and die”. :joy: I guess orange Julius’s, potato chips, and egg sandwiches did the trick though.

This morning things started flowing (air) and I got a little ride in.

30 min. watching SpongeBob and cruising at 30 rpm.

10 min ramping up listening to some Santana-

And another 15 listening to some Zeppelin-

Just trying to make sure that doesn’t happen too soon! That last 8 min. makes me want to cha-cha if I knew how to dance.

Got 5 rounds of:

20 lb. Unilateral overhead press 20 reps, curl 15 reps, airdyne 5 min. @ 50 rpm.

Still feel crappy, slooooooowly shaking cold/sinus/breathing stuff.

Still owe sit ups and rev. hypers.
Maybe later, maybe tomorrow. Need more coffee.

Have I mentioned lately that I hate congestion?

I do. I have this face, head and chest thing happening still. It’s fading slowly, but there none the less.

So tonight:

Airdyne- warmed up for about 20 min. @ 40 rpm or so, then ramped up to 55-60+ for about a half hour.

Vague on times because I was listening to tunes, drinking coffee and just feeling really good once I got moving. Had my own little peleton commercial going minus the beautiful people and wonderful architecture.

Was thinking of @Spock81 when I selected this:

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Live at Slane Castle 2003 Full Concert (High Quality) - YouTube

to ride along to.

Kiddo was my spotter/coach tonight and in charge of selecting the loading. He’s pretty good. Stayed focused, he hit a few sets of goblets, and a good time was had by all.

Kiddo really likes playing Secret Santa with the weights. So:

Overhead press:

  1. 6 reps @ 35 lbs.
  2. 12 reps @ 45 lbs.
  3. 18 reps @ 55 lbs.
  4. 12 reps @ 65 lbs.

And little dude banged out 8 sets of triples @ 25 lbs. on dead lifts prior to that. He wants to be the strongest kid in first grade! :joy:

He might do it too!

So, the pic above (decorations aside) was at minute 25:24 of a “99 minute challenge” that my kiddo came up with.

As I was pedaling through that he kept loading up the bar with different weights, resulting in-

Tricep extensions–1 set, 20 lbs, 25 reps, 1 set 30 lbs. 25 reps, 1 set 40 lbs. 12 reps.

Curls- set 1 50 lbs. 16 reps, set 2 70 lbs. 12 reps, set 3 80 lbs. 8 reps.

Reverse curls- 35 lbs. 18 reps, 45 lbs. 12 reps.

Bent over rows- 85 lbs. 3 sets of 12.

It’s hard to say no to the little guy that thinks you’re the strongest guy in the world. :relaxed:

And 300 some cals. from the bike ride.

One arm rows, 40 lbs.

2 sets @ 12
1 amrap- 20 reps.

Push ups- 4 sets of 15, 60 total.

I’m going to start doing chest stuff again. I quit for a good while because the tension freaked me out, but angina is under control and I need some muscle to support my moobs.

Tonight:

Nothing. Sweet, sweet nothing. I’m beat. I just want to sleep.

I’m only slightly jealous of your kids… My parents can’t cook anything except greasy stir fries

159

My kid barely eats anything I make. He’s completely hesitant about trying anything new or different. He did try and absolutely loved some salmon a couple days ago, otherwise it hotdogs or chicken nuggets!

I understand that this is a common frustration, but a frustration none the less.

I’d love a real stir fry. My brothers wife and family are from Taiwan and she makes some great foods.

I’m actually working with a CMU startup called Little Moochi that’s trying to tackle this problem. (I wrote the blog posts :wink: )

161

Their stir fries are definitely as authentic as they get- I (and my toilet) just can’t stand the grease

162

I’m going to have to look into that!

If you can improve that little mousetrap the parents of the world will beat a path to your door.
