Comments: Good session. Started off with a metcon in the garage and then went to the gym and did a push session. I did have some pain during Bench and OHP. It’s nice when you seem to be the only one in the gym doing a certain muscle group. That was me today. Plenty of benches and machines to choose from. I’m getting an MRI on my lower back/tail bone today so hopefully that sheds some light on what’s going on.

Solid session while working through pain.
Good luck with your MRI. Hopefully it brings a non invasive easy solution.

Nice metcon Trent! It was 35 degrees when I walked out of the house this morning. I definitely had my sweatshirt on.

Comments: Woke up and the internet was out at the house. It turns out it is a widespread outage over most of town. I tried to hot spot my phone on the Peloton to get a warmup ride in but my cell signal at the house is weak so it didn’t work. I gave up and went to the gym. They didn’t have internet either so there was no music. It’s funny, I thought I was raw dogging it before. No gym music is REALLY raw dogging it. Lol It was pretty weird. All you heard was people breathing hard and grunting, and weights clanging. Ha ha… Still got a decent session in.

Nice work put in. I hear you on having no music in the gym. That would be tough. You should have broke out in song man.

We are about thirty minutes south of Camp Lejeune, USMC base. That outage was reportedly caused by a utility contractor that accidentally cut one of the main fiber optic lines and then pulled it 50’ underground… I’m guessing that was his last day on the job… 
They had it back up and running by early afternoon.

Comments: We went to Friendsgiving last night and had, essentially, Thanksgiving dinner and drinks with a bunch of friends from the neighborhood. Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, mac & cheese, green bean casserole and some delicious ice cream cake. No point in trying to count all those calories. As a matter of fact, I might just skip calorie counting all week.
Good session. My kids are both sick and my wife thinks she is coming down with something. Figured I might as well try to go get a good session in in case we all end up with the crud. Pretty decent sets. Had a little bit of deep glute pain during squats. Most everything else didn’t hurt. Overall, the pain has decreased so hopefully that trend continues.

Heck of a session Trent. That Tunde girl is jacked isn’t she?
Good to the pain has decreased. That is a big win there and like you said hopefully that continues.
Friendsgiving sounds fun. I haven’t done one of those in awhile. Last time we did one my friend about caught the cul-de-sac on fire dropping a half thawed turkey into the deep fryer.
I haven’t stopped somewhat counting cals but the scale has been put away!

I’ve gotta be honest, she is terrifying. If I saw her in a dark alley I would run for my life. 
This is our second Friendsgiving. We did one last year with the same group of people. Only last year’s was on Thanksgiving day and everyone got completely hammered that night. Since some of the folks were going out of town this year they decided to have it last night. Since today was a work/school day it was a little more dialed down this year.

Comments: Decent ride. I have had some patellar tendonitis in my left knee since last week. I had some pain for about the first half of that ride and then it went away. My legs were also fairly toasted from yesterday’s session and didn’t loosen up until 30 minutes in. Oh well, the last 15 minutes were good at least. LOL Still torched some calories. I’m planning to go to the gym tomorrow morning. Hopefully I don’t catch the crud from my kids…

Comments: Good session. Started in the garage with a metcon and then went to the gym and hit a whole-body session. There was barely anyone in there so I got to superset all kinds of stuff. Also, I finally got to see someone doing the Hip Abduction machine backwards today. I’ve seen videos on IG of people doing that and never thought I would actually see it in real life until these two ladies did it today. While I’m sure there are some muscles that you’re able to hit by doing that it has to be one of the most jack ass looking things I’ve ever seen.
Going to eat a salad for lunch today in one last attempt to limit my calories before the train drives off the track tomorrow. 
Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!

Heck of a workout Trent. You have earned right to feast on the bird tomorrow. Good luck with your salad!
LoL at the ladies doing those backwards. Totally agree. Definitely a look at me type of exercise as I can’t imagine doing them that way actually makes any bit of difference. They are actually probably worse.
Happy Thanksgiving!
