Nice to see you back JD.... yeah, I'm 51 and I can't even see myself not working out..... I get too grumpy when I don't..

Sorry to hear about your divorce.. those things are never fun. How did you manage to live together for so long? Wasn't that hard?

But, things always happen for a reason that's good... so ............

Hey Katt!

It was way hard. But iI am so much happier now. A little lonely at the moment, but I will be ok. Not being committed is not always a bad thing.

Say hi to TOH for me.

katt · 06-18-2009, 08:03 PM

yeah totally...

I never stopped working out, but lost my dedication. Have been going thru the motions so to speak.

katt · 06-18-2009, 08:08 PM

Yeah, I was joking.... once your a gym junkie,, you really can't go back to being a couch potatoe, right? lol The gym is the only thing that keeps those happy endorphins going and keeps you sane.

That's what friends are for.

6/19/2009

Deadlifts
135 x 5
185 x 5
225 x 3
275 x 3

Just getting back with deadlifts. Easy does it with DL. My thought is that since you are doing a series of singles, 3 reps is the most you want to do. Goal is to work back up to 3 x 365. Never have been strong at DL.

Pulldowns
100 x 8
125 x 8
140 x 8
160 x 6

I joined a new gym, so the equipment is different for me. This is a double pulley deal, one on each side of the bar. Not sure why, but it seemed to be harder and more effective.

Hammer Strength Rows (one arm)
100 x 8
125 x 8
150 x 8

Seated DB Curl
25's x 10
30's x 10
35's x 8

Concentrated at squeezing at the top, no momentum.

In and out of the gym in 31 minutes

Some days good and some days bad...

That is part of the reason I backed off on training. I seem to have hit a compromise between weight and volume. It still flairs up and I find myself popping Motrins, but it is under control.

How is the job going, you corporate hotshot?

Good to hear you are controlling the elbow pain....

The job is BUSY which is better than NO JOB. In April, I became responsible for all IT Services along with my IT Security responsibilities. So now I manage our 24/7 IT help desk, change and release management, field support staff, service reporting for KPIs/SLAs/OLAs and management reporting along with IT Security. I have 30 people located anywhere from Colorado to Mississippi to Quebec to Toronto. So between new job responsibilities, the two little ones and fitness.........the days are packed

But IT'S ALL GOOOOD.
