All things considered, I kept the overeating to a minimum this weekend. Chocolate covered peanut butter squares were my downfall. |

, but since I am too (choose one) dedicated, stubborn, obsessed, stupid, I went to the gym anyway. I’ve had these days before when I’ve felt less than energetic upon waking, only to go to the gym and have a decent workout. This workout was not one of them.|

I'm staying at a Residence Inn (Marriott) and the room is a suite with stove, fridge, and microwave. Pretty nice, I must say. Drove up tonight to avoid the horrible traffic in the morning. And there's a Gold's gym about 10 minutes from here.

I did 5 lengths today.

Gary Off welfare and on the cardio bandwagon. Where I ran is also a middle school with a relatively new track. The field is not in the best shape, though.
That's great. Gives me and the rest of us still on pullup welfare something to shoot for. Welcome to the cardio club

I've decided to cut back a little on the volume plus I've decided to keep the reps for accessory exercises on max effort day to a range of 4-6. With the exception of one set, I succeeded in that regard. On dynamic effort day, the rep range for the accessory exercises will be 7-10. |

I'm not sure an over-under grip is ideal for BB rows. Anyone know? I probably should use chalk for that exercise, too. |
I use a underhand grip on my Bent Over Rows, and just about shoulder width or maybe slightly narrower, I used to do the overhand grip, but felt something pull in my shoulder, so from there on out I have done underhand grip rows, and they feel excellent to me my Friend!!! Plus the stretch you get is Intense!!!
